UPDATED: MAR 7, 2024 Pours transparent brown with a thick tan head. Aroma produces roast malt, spices, a little sweetness. Flavor furnishes sweet roast malt, woody, spice and bitter hops. Texture adds nice smooth body and perky fizz. Get your wee heavy Scotch on.

Aroma is quite sweet malts, toast, some mild nutty tones along with mild wooden and floral notes.

ryecatcher (1746) - Beverly, Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 14, 2023
UPDATED: MAY 14, 2023 Bottle. I've had this one many times but apparently I never got around to rating it here. Everything I love about a good wee heavy: stone fruit, cocoa, malty, mild and sweet, and The ABV is dangerously hidden. Sláinte.

blariacum (1218) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - APR 21, 2023
UPDATED: APR 21, 2023 Fles, vroeger (j70) toen het nog onder auspiciën van McEwan's gebrouwen werd door Bass voor de Belgische markt (7,2%). Verdween van de markt maar keerde als het ware terug. Bitter, vol van smaak.
