Last Hearth

Ultimo Focolare is the Scotch Ale crafted by Shire Brewing (Porciano, Frosinone, Lazio): the last refuge for man, on the edge of the Scottish Highlands. An old pub filled with the scents of life — wallpaper, wood, carpet, a good book, and the warmth of the fireplace accompanying your faithful pint full of beer. 7.5% vol., in a 44cl can — best served in a thistle glass or English pint between 12 and 14°C.

Based on Maris Otter and Munich malts, with Pale Chocolate, Crystal, and Dark Crystal and the classic East Kent Golding hops. Followed by a month of conditioning at the brewery. Dark brown, enveloping, with notes of caramel, toffee, fruit, and hazelnut — sweet, complex, perfect for the cold season.

Best enjoyed at the table: pairs well with pumpkin risotto, pasta dishes with sausage or ragù, aged cheeses, meat pies, stewed red meats, game, and Christmas desserts.
