    Remember your kettle caramelization technique when you boil. Also, ferment this cooler than your typical ale (low 60s, or even high 50s). Condition it out for a few weeks after fermentation. Be patient with this style.

    I would cut the late hop addition. I don't ever do late hop additions on Scottish Ales. I'd also probably mash it a bit higher than that, maybe 156?
