Jan 16, 2007 Fresh at Alternative Brews. A decent scotch, apparently revived every year. Bit of alcool and caramel in the aroma. A generous white head with bubbles. Creamy, tasty, full mouthfeel and a little amount of lacing.

Nov 18, 2004 Sampled 11/04 - this is the 2003 brew, aged in oak for 1 year. Vanilla, sweetish nose. Oak is completely dominant. Rich vanilla/oak notes gives way to tart grapeskin, fruits, slight smoke/fishiness. Rich but.. the buttery heaviness is too much. I’d like to compare this oaked version to a fresh batch.

Sep 26, 2004 (draft @ 2004 Autumn Festival of Ales - Honeoye Falls, NY) Cloudy bronze color with a creamy white head. Very sweet aroma of toffee mixed with smoke and malt. Very sweet and malty flavor with a sweet toffee finish and a touch of hops at the end. Very sweet aftertaste. Quite delicious.

Jan 15, 2004 Poured a deep mahogany color, beige color head. Aroma was heavy on the malt with a touch of smoke. Flavor was pretty sweet from malt with some caramel undertones and some, but not too many, hops in the end. Pretty full body. Pretty nice.

Jun 15, 2001 Got Malt? CB could promote their Wee Heavy this way. The 1998-1999 was nicely maltier; the following year less so (but a little sweeter); but 2000-2001 is the vintage year (so far). Malty, with a color between copper and brown, bright with red highlights, and just enough sweetness and hops. Magnificent!
