This matured version of our Scotch-Style ale, Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy, is matured in premium bourbon barrels for up to one year to add layers of complexity to its rich, malty flavor profile. Notes of vanilla, oak and bourbon from the barrels combine with the beer’s profile of caramel and toffee to make this an utterly unique beer that we think you’ll love. Enjoy it now or let it mature in the bottle for years to come.

Vintage 2015. Ten years old bottle. Coz tu mamy najpierw oprawa, pieknie malowana i zdobiona recznie butelka. Szkoda ze nie bedzie etykiety, no ale teraz moze wyglad. Piwo po przelaniu 1 trzeciej do sniftera prezentuje sie dobrze, moglo i lepiej, piana jest srednia i sredniej trwalosci, przy 10 letnim piwie nawet srednia trwalosc tej bialo bezowej pianki to juz osiagniecie niemale. Barwa burgundowa, sliwkowo brazowa z lekka metnoscia. Wiekszosc zostala nieodklejona na dnie solidnego i grubego szkla. Aromat. Daktyle, sliwka z pestka swiezo po jej otwarciu, nieco ziemistosci, czy jakby powiedziec ziemniakow. Smak. Karmelowy, wisniowo sliwkowy, troche deserowo palony, cos jak creme brulie przygniecione chochla powidel sliwkowych z Szydlowa. Cierpkie i palone, na sam koniec wytrawne i palone wykonczenie. Reasumujac, piwo intensywne i niebywale zlozone, pol wytrawne, szlachetne i doskonale do starzenia. Za 5 lat bylo by podejrzewam jeszcze bardziej wyrafinowane.

Lovely malts, light fruity esters & plenty of vanilla fudge barrel. Great!
