Tap at the brewpub. The dirty bathroom aroma returns in this one, mixed with rubber and a little bit of sweetness. Mostly sweet, corny flavor, very uncomplex, light, boring. Thick but not boozy, surprising at 9.5%. Pretty standard brewpub fair.

Deep dark brown beer. Fairly sweet malty aroma. Chewy and sweet and lightly treacly. Lots of toasted malt flavour and a hint of fruit. Sweet figgy/date sweetness. Full bodied, rich and pretty tasty.

Draft at the brewpub. Labeled as Wee Heavier. Pours near black with a thin beige head. Sweet malt aroma, just a touch of roast. The flavor is light but well balanced with sweet malt, roast, and a hint of smoke. Pretty good.

Labeled as Nodding Head Wee Heavier, a bottle from the World Beer Cup, leftover from judging a gift form bill. Pours extremely dark almost black with a big 2 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and slightly malty. Taste is overly sweet, and very front ended in that regard, followed by a lingering viscous caramel. Not bad I have to say.

Nearly black w/ hints of red, tan head w/ nice lace. Sweet aroma, plu & raisen, the traditional wee heavy parts. Nice well coated pal. Sweet caramels, grapes, plums, raisens, odd sourish finish. I like it a lot, ti’s been a while since i’ve had a good wee heavy.

Gen Lafayette strong ale fest 07. Pours a nice rich woody amber, mahagony highlights and a big frothy head. Aroma is nuts, fruity esters, almonds, some caramel malts, and earthy hops. Flavor was ok, but nothing too intense or malty sweet, just light caramel, earth, very light cold smoked salmon, and a lightly bitter finish. Ok mouthfeel and a decent clean finish.

Hand pump in tulip glass - Dark brown color with big tan head. Smoky-nut aroma with some sweet malts detectable. Taste was very malty and sweet, with a slight hint of alcohol. Finishes clean, yet bold. Nice brew!

Full of flavour, dark and malty. Small head and lace remaining in glass. Alcohol hidden there with a hammer. Touch of smoke
