May 14, 2008 From the 750ml bottle is pours a translucent dark brown, amber with a thin, slightly creamy tan head. Nice tight bubbles all around the glass and head. Aroma is very sweet, brown sugar, caramel, chewy candy, some doughy yeast and also a strong, earthy, soil like aroma and maybe just a touch of spice from some the hops. Flavor is sweet and strong, molasses, whiskey, toast, crackers, maple syrup, raisins, caramel candy, and a little bit of peat smoke. Slightly oily on the palate with some heat from the alcohol. Well balanced, complex scotch ale.

May 13, 2008 Black tea color with a khaki head. Classic malty sweet earthy Scotch ale aromas with raisons, molasses, and a whiff of alcohol. Smooth, full body. Nice earthy sweet flavors of pears, plums, black raisons, molasses with a touch of smoke. Enjoyed this one.

May 13, 2008 Bottle from Liqour Barn in Redding, CA. This one was real thick pouring, and it packed a lot of punch. Some tell me that Guinness is like drinking a meal... If that’s true, then Alesmith Wee Heavy is like drinking Xmas dinner, including dessert. Nice and full bodied with deep, malty flavors.
