It's what I'd expect of Scotland

It's a new beer with some unusual characteristics.

  • Only 12 bottles were brewed, and they sold for $765 each.

  • It comes in a unique bottle wrapped in preserved roadkill.

It's an interesting combination, not one element of which gives me any desire to drink the stuff.
