Apr 20, 2008 GABBF 08 - This was boring! Didn’t really get much of a sample, after most of the head dissipated. Toasty maltiness, some cereal grains, and just a bit of spicy hops in the finish. Bland.

Apr 16, 2008 Poured brown with red tints from the 14.9 ounce "widget" can. Typical huge boiling head from that type of can. Good amount of lacing, some foam left in the bottom of the glass. My can said 5.2 % abv. which is higher than the ratebeer listing. First sip is sweet roasted malts with the bitter hops following. Nice dry finish. Overall a tasty brew. Cost was $2.29 US for the can. Nice occasional pleasure a bit pricey for frequent consumption.

Apr 9, 2008 Brownish red, nice head. Taste is more malty than hoppy, but pretty balanced. Didn’t catch my attention like Smithwick’s, but still, an overall decent Scottish ale.

Apr 8, 2008 Clear and bright red with a generous head that stayed strong and left very nice lacing. Bread and toffee were clear in the aroma, with a touch of smokiness. Same with the taste, which also included subtle caramel and hops that resulted in a well-balanced beer. Slightly slick on the tongue, but very drinkable. Glad it’s only 3.9% so I can have a few.

Apr 5, 2008 12 ounce bottle- pours a deep golden amber with a persistent gold tinted head. Aroma was mildly citrus with caramel. This ale immediately fills the mouth like a good stout. Very creamy texture. Taste is all caramel and smoke with a crisp, clean finish and a warm belly-glow to follow. Excellent.

Mar 30, 2008 6er of 12oz bottles. Not quite the brew its big brother (the Belhaven Wee Heavy) is but still good nonethless. And a fantastic session brew at just about 4%abv. Nose is Apple, caramel and chocolate with some wheat bread. Up front it is pure Scotch Ale with big notes of caramel and molasses with a really nice chocolate note and a touch of smoke.. The finish is slightly bitter with a lingering bready finish and reminiscent of a english beer. This is almost like a cross between their Wee Heavy and Newcastle. It doesn’t have the mild malty backbone or the long caramel finish of the Wee Heavy but its easy drinking, low ABV and easy to find.
