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.

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.

Nice dark amber color with light head. Malty nose, with flavors of light toasted malt and roasted nuts. Some hints of light smoke, but not over the top. Nice clean finish.

This poured a dark amber and the malts were obvious before the glass got near my nose. The flavor was malty, nutty, almost smokey, but not smoked. There was a hint of sweetness like carmel or molasses

50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Dark reddish brown colour with a weak light brown head. Smooth aroma of dried fruit, caramel and sweet malt. Great light smooth complex flavour of malt, earty and little bitterness and ends little smoky at the end. Quite good and smooth.
