Thanks to nicklass for this. Pours a dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is scotch sweetness with wood and earthy malt profile. Taste is slightly subdued, sweetness and some earth with wood from the malt. Small toffee in the end.

Pretty dam well done for style, and Im not usually partial to style. Smells nice and malty. Colour brown, red in light. Some definite whisky and oak in aroma. Taste is malty bitter. Medium carbonation. Tap at The Rhino.

On tap at Dave’s. Appearance: Blackcurrant red, small off white head. Aroma: Good deal of malt, a little dark fruit too. Flavour: Tons of malt, Blackcurrant, fruity, a little dry, long sweet and dry finish. Not bad.

Smells better than it tastes. Looks appetizing - rusty red. Malty, tangy and kind of sour. Medium bodied. I’m not a huge fan of this. Is it just me or do a lot of Amsterdam beers have an odd estery tang to them? I’m not a fan.

500 ml bottle from brewery’s retail store (as Wee Heavy). Pours a clear dark amber colour with modest-sized virtually white head. Aroma is caramel and a bit of dark fruit. Flavour is caramel, dark fruit and a little nuttiness. Lightly carbonated.

Bottle purchased at the Amsterdam Brewery. Pours a dark reddish copper colour, head is off white and disappears fast, no lacing really. Aroma is a touch malty but I’m not getting much else. Tastes bitter and a bit of whisky almost. Not bad, not there best.

As Wee Heavy: A lightly hazed brown ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, a musty nutty aroma, with caramel, light off notes. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with off notes. 6.75$ for a pint, Smokeless Joe’s, Oct. 30 2011.

Deep amber-brown pour. The aroma has a bit of malty sweetness. A bit of soft sweetness and some light treacle aroma. Decent balance, although I’d like to see a bit more complexity through the middle of the palate. Not much in the way of yeast contribution. It’s decent, but not entirely awesome.

500ml bottle from the Amsterdam retail store. pours clear light brown with a quick white head. alcohol and dark fruit nose. the flavour is similar to the nose. the alcohol is far to present and takes away from an otherwise decent beer.

500 ml bottle. Rebranded as Wee Heavy, cool scotty dog and tartan logo. Pours deep copper in colour with moderate off white head. Aroma and taste are sweet, caramel malt, with a hint of earthiness. Hops not noticeable. A little light on alcohol for the style, but I loved this. Very drinkable Scotch Ale!
