Commercial Description:
Pasteurised bottle, export only.
Belhaven Wee Heavy has a rich deep flavor that derives from the greater proportion of malted barley to hops wich characterised Scottish ales of the 19th century. A beer to be sipped, savoured and fully respected.

Pretty blah. Tasted like sweet malt. Nothing special about this one. Nothing wrong with it though.

Sapore molto intenso, molto maltoso, anche se non ho molte strong ale con cui confrontarla

Pours really well in the Orval trappist chalice. Bif creay head, just off-white, and a slightly murky maroon / brown body. Nose shows some stewed fruits, some caramel and perhaps a slight metallic, the latter not a bad thing. Heavy malts to taste, much weight than the nose might suggest. More hot fruits and some rhubarb (almost Belgian-like in this respect) along with a savoury cinnamon hint. Some scotch ale-esque colar flavours to finish. Actually shows a fair chunk of complexity, and came up a lot better than I expected. Must be the best Belhaven beer I’ve had to date.

Bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a deep dark brown-amber body with a small beige head. Mildly sweet and not spicy enough. I was mildly disappointed with this beer, but it was overall a nice product. A bit one-dimensional and lacking somplexities. Some toastiness and nuttiness, but not rich enough or smoky enough.

I like this beer. the spices infuse the palate with gregerious temptations to persue more. The hops bring the malt to full effect asking for a more fulfilled endeavor to what lies ahed. Nice
