Jul 24, 2007 Heritage Scottish Wee Heavy Ale-on tap-pours a light brown head and black color. Aroma is faint medium malt-sweet. Taste is medium/dark malt-chocolate, nutty, some fruity, faint hops. Nice.

Jun 15, 2007 Rating 1054. Had on tap at the brewery in Hilton Head Island South Carolina. Clear ruby with a thin off brown head leaving a rim that was long lasting. Nose is creamy. Malty with some alcohol vapors. Taste is alcoholic with grains malts and some hops. As it warms more chocolate and dark fruit comes out. This is a strong representaton of what this style is and a very drinkable fine brew.

Apr 29, 2007 Draft pint at the brewpub, but served in a Yuengling glass (WTF?). Deep, dark reddish brown with almost no head (just a tan ring). The aroma is of warmed caramel. Almost milky with a caramel and slightly roasty flavor with a subtle bitter finish. OK. (#2817, 4/24/2007)

Jun 8, 2005 A little too tart for my tastes. I was hoping for a Robert the Bruce substitute. This wasn’t it. Roasty and malty but the tartness is weird. Still, drinkable.

May 12, 2003 Light malts, tea aroma. Some citrus. Hops are light and a bit tangy. Medium brown color with off-white thin head. Light medium carb and medium watery body. Starts a little sweet with a bit of roasted malts. Finish with a tang bordering on sour - hops imparted a muted bitterness to the finish and a mild sweet nutty after. Bit of barley taste. OK Scottish ale though a bit unbalanced.
