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 bottle of unknown origin (pretty sure one of my wife's friends left it here a few weeks back), 9/19/21. Muddy dark reddish color. Caramel, toffee, brown sugar. Decent feel, slightly thin. Hides the alcohol nicely.

Solid og god men litt platt og robust. Savner litt eleganse, men det er jo en stil som lett kan tippe over til litt for mye makt og lite annet.

Ein schweres Bier, das es aber leicht macht es zu mögen - besonders mein mittelmäßig biererfahrener Bierkumpel war schwer begeistert von diesem Bierchen, das im schottischen Whiskeyfasse gereift ist. Es hat wirklich feine Whiskey-Noten und trotz der Aromendichte und des Alkoholgehaltes lässt es sich gut trinken. Meine Befürchtung einer Holzigkeit würde gottseidank nicht bestätigt, so dass ich es wirklich empfehlen kann.

Bottle from Cafe Blu. Mildly sweet biscuit-malty nose. Very sweet, moderate complexity, not too much dark roast, reminds me of a dunkles Bock. Dark brown sugar on the aftertaste with moderate/low bitterness. I get a tiny hint of smoke but not much.

Tobacco and some light peat. A little leather. Murky brown pour with decent head. A touch of bitter herb. Light tangy finish. Can.
