TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Mar 24, 2006 Pours dark amber with a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of oak, vinous malts, port, and caramel. Taste is yeasty esters and toasted caramel malts. Notes of oak, peat malt, apples, apricots, with a firm backbone of sweet vinous malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly sticky with smooth carbonation. Quite enjoyable with the unusual fruity esters and balanced sweetness. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Mar 21, 2006 "WOW solid beer. Poured a dark brown, head was on the larger side but didn’t last long. Aroma was" a chocolate but roasted or smokey. Flavor was chocolate spices and hops towards the finish. Solid beer" emptytankard (36), Illinois, USA Mar 16, 2006 A reddish murky pour, this malty brew has a sweet smoky aroma and small tan head. The most impressive aspect of this beer is its drinkability. On the milder side of the Scottish scale, wee heavy is true to its name. It shows nuances of the strong malty sweetness and smoky character common to scotch ales, but unlike many other Scottish brews this one doesn’t have to be sipped. Overall a great brew, and the best offering from Belhaven. demitriustown (689), Shelby Township, Michigan, USA Mar 13, 2006 Dark maroon pour with a thick rocky white head. Smoke, slight maltiness, hops, sugar, and molasses are all present in the scent. Sweet maltiness to the taste that consists of a slight bitterness, a very light amount of smoke, and caramel. A decent subtle Scotch Ale that is easily sippable and remarkable average. Try it once and then move on to something more exciting. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 13, 2006 Pours deep bronze with a very large off white head that just hangs around. Aroma of sweet and roasted malts, some caramel notes are present also. Flavor is slightly sweet, smooth, some bitter hoppiness and dryness. good body good brew. screwball (796), Motala, Sweden Mar 5, 2006 Has a red-brown body. Off-white head. Smoky sweet taste.
