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.

12 oz can. Pours a nearly opaque brown color with a big foamy beige head that has decent retention. The aroma is medium in strength with toffee and dust. The taste is toffee, dark breads and roasted grains. The palate is full and a bit oily with soft carbonation. Finishes somewhat short. Overall: Decent Wee heavy--will drink again. Pairs well with some gouda cheese.

Lots of caramel and dried fruit, with a slight toasted pumpernickel and cocoa note on the back end and a slightly bitter fade. Fairly simple, but drinkable.

Bottled (from Alko webshop). Deep brown, very close to black colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is dried fruits, mild leathery tones, some figs and plum along with mild alcohol. Flavour is fruity, caramelly, plum, some alcohol, mild leather and some pleasant yeasty spiciness to it. Very smooth, and actually feels a bit aged too, but in a positive way.

Blik gedeeld door Roelzie, geprobeerd met Romy, Meindert en Lieke. Het is een helder bruin bier. Het heeft een wat kruidige geur. De smaak is kruidig met tonen van rozijn.

hazy brown colour, medium sized dense beige-ish head; aroma and taste of burnt sugary-caramel, honeycomb toffee and some dried fruits like plum and maybe sour cherry; not bad at all
