Wee Mac is a Scottish style brown ale. Fermented at cooler than normal temperatures to mimic the climate of Scotland. Wee Mac is an easy drinking brown ale that is both smooth and malty wit caramel and chocolate tones. Hops are used sparingly in this beer and serve only to help balance the sweetness of the malt.

The smell is a little lighter in the usual peat or smoke, but it is detectable, nonetheless. It pours a nice brown ale color in a glass, under a foamy head that is gone after a few minutes. The taste has a bit of the nuttiness of a northern brown ale. A slight bit of smokiness at the back of the palate. This is not too sweet, but achieves a bit of a dry finish without interference from hop additions. The overall effect is between a Northern Brown like a Newcastle, and a Wee Heavy: somewhat filling, but at 5.3% abv, it doesn't weigh the drinker down at meals.

Aroma is malty beer, but nothing that reminds me of Scotch Ale. Flavor does deliver a little in that way. Body, despite being malty, is still a touch thin. An ok beer. I’ll enjoy this one, but not get another.

Can shared by Bob, thanks. Brown color and thin palate. Light malt, and the lightest caramel in the flavor. There is not much here.

16oz can courtesy of StFun (5.3% AVB) pours with a crystal clear amber body and copper hues with a fairly week light tan head. The aroma offers up earthy prunes, cherry meat and Skittles candy as well as molasses and thin ribbons of caramel malts. This smells pretty fruity. The taste delivers a mix of prunes and cherries and sweet malts mixed with molasses and caramel. It gets a bit earthy with malts about midway and evens out nicely into the finish.
