Viking history in Scotland goes back a thousand years. Even our brew master studied in Edinburgh, where he carefully surveyed the local brew. Our Scotch Ale is the first of its kind to use Icelandic-grown, birch-smoked barley in collaboration with Eimverk distillery in Garðabær. We then add native Icelandic Angelica, a fabled herb used by Vikings past. Our Wee Heavy is rich and hearty, with a touch of smokiness, and remains incredibly balanced. Your tastebuds have no choice but to be conquered.

From Beer Drop, canned May 28th 2025.

It pours a clear mahogany with a massive head of foam, great retention and lacing.

The smell is nutty, roasty, has toffee, light smoke.

The taste is roasty, nutty, toffee, has grain, little bit smokey, almost tobacco.

Medium bodied, I would drink this again.

Pour is a dark murky river water brown. Aroma is a tootsie roll burnt caramel with brown sugar. Flavor is more sugar covered dark fruit a little smoky malt and a touch of alcohol. Very rich and flavorful. Almost into Dubbel territory. I really liked this rich and flavorful.

Aromas are dark malt, toffee and toast. Flavors are similar to nose with an ever so slight smoke quality. Good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation while leaning a bit sweet. Pretty good wee heavy.

Bottle at home. Pours deep copper with beige head. Nose is sweet boozy, fruity and spicy touch and a moderate smokey character. In taste it’s mainly sweet with notes of booze, grains, some smoke again. Medium body, soft carbo.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto da ciliegia, orzo tostato e sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata ed elegante. Il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone castagno non è molto persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine fini. Il colore è marrone scuro. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, luppolo, erba, agrumi e frutta passita.

Bottle from Hopt. Sweetish brown malt aroma with caramel, toffee, notes of dried dark fruits, berries, candy, touch of fudge and ash. Sweet flavour with a mild bitterness. Body is above medium. Rich creamy malts and I like the touch of fruits, good brew.

Аромат весьма пряный, даже немного перцем отдает, но не сильно, намеки на травы но тоже уходящие в пряности, немного карамели и сухофруктов. Цвет темно коричневый, пенка совсем маленькая. Вкус весьма ровныйЮ в меру питкий. Снова на первом плане пряности. Немного гвоздики с травами. Затем немного карамельки с медом, но намного меньше в пропорциях чем пряности. В послевкусие все тоже самое плюс сухофрукты. В Целом ровно и хорошо.
