Commercial Description:
A big Scotch ale brewed with Golden Promise malted barley, dark caramel malts and bit of smoked malt. Our Wee Heavy is nice and chewy with a big malt character.

On hand pump at brewery. Mild sweet malt with soft apple fruitiness. A little woody with some molasses and smoke. Fruity hops with some esters. Smooth alcohol note. Mild and sweet smell overall, subtle. Murky brown with creamy lacing tan head. Smooth silky body with light carbonation. Starts subtle and smooth with mild sweet chalky maltiness. Apple notes and yeasty, with grittiness. LIght tang with alcohol warming. Subtle maltiness throughout and mild dry bitter finish. Nutty yeasty fruity after.

On handpump, at brewery 03/13/07. Pours a slightly murky deep ruby to brown body under a creamy one finger beige head that left lots of lacing. Huge malt nose on this guy. A little smoke, alcohol, lots of caramel, a little toffee, and some vanilla. Flavor delivers the malt by the boatload. Not too sweet, some some toffee, caramel, and fruitiness. Great smoky note on the finish. Great malt complexity. Mouthfeel is just perfect for this beer. Great cask conditioned feel, full bodied but not sticky, hard to do with such a hugely malty beer like this. Excellent beer. These guys have really improved over the years.

This looked very tasty as it came out. The aroma and flavor are of dark malts and fruits, with some smoke in the background. With a thick mouthfeel and the nearly unnoticeable alcohol content, this was solid.

Great deep color with a soft moist head, the flavor is dark and sweet, complex, but the real attraction here is the body, which is velvety and smooth. Delicious.

Cask. This one looked great in a snifter. Huge head on a dark brown body. The head faded a little but kept alot till the end. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor is very smooth, slightly malty with a little hop presence. Alcohol is undetected. Very smooth and balanced.
