Scotch Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Our bourbon barrel-aged Wee Heavy, decked out in a fine tartan kilt, delivers expressions of sweet malt and American oak like a furious claymore strike. Pour a wee dram and let the brogue fly. Don’t be daft, enjoy now or store cold.

12 oz. can. Pours black, with a big, foamy, tan head. The nose is cognac, cherry wood, cloves, cola, caramel, and black bread. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, earthy bitterness. Heavy, grainy, and boozy. Aggressive and interesting.

Can - clear dark amber - faint lace - nose is mostly bourbon, vanilla, dark fruit - creamy texture - quite sweet and sugary - plums, caramelized sugars, toffee, treacle - there is a slight earthy maltiness, but not getting the peaty, smoky notes of a scotch ale at all - finish is crazy hot and boozy - a blunt instrument that is not terribly complex.
