Building upon a Scottish "Wee Heavy", this unique beer was developed to provide a strong caramel malt flavour with enough salt to give it a bit of a bite. Stronger in alcohol, this beer starts off sweet but remains fairly light to drink.

22 oz bottle poured into a Belgian snifter. Bottle courtesy of Richard and Better Beer Authority for a live Blind Taste Test. Clear amber/copper color with a small amount of off-white to slightly yellowish head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, dark fruit. Tastes of dark fruit, caramel, toffee, candied and brown sugar. Medium body with a dry finish. Medium carbonation, syrupy mouthfeel. Fairly smooth. Having it blind I was guessing a barleywine around 7-8%.

Bottle at West Coast Brew Fest 2014. Pours dark copper. Aroma is sort of winey malt. Med body. Flavor is rather vanilla roast malt. Smoke? Not for me. Not a lot of hop.Nice taste.

What size bottle is this? 22oz? Pours a murky brown with very little white head. Nose is fairly muted, some caramel, some malt, a little candied orange, some raisin, a little prune. Flavors are similar, sweet, malt, caramel, a little toast, raisins, orange. Medium bodied. Forgettable.

Golden amber, sweet character...almost flavoured, i like the salty caramel notes, but it’s too sweet to drink too much.

A reddish brown scotch ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, strong sweet cherry malt with candy overtones and fruity pulp. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with light corky notes, a bit light. Cask Days 2013.

Poured from a 650mL bottle. Clear orangish brown in colour with minimal off-white head. Very metallic aroma with some toffee, bread, and caramel. Qutie sweet and caramel-y to start with strong salt finish. Lacks body, similar to other Parallel 49 beers in the mouth.
