Just a Wee Heavy to fortify friendly celebrations on cooler evenings. A burly beast of a brew 9.75% ABV this Scotch Ale is designed for luxurious sipping over an evening’s fireside chat. Heirloom UK barley malt is responsible for rich toffee and malty biscuit notes that resonate throughout. Scottish folks share Wisconsin’s independent and resourceful nature relying on an unusually cool ale fermentation to deliver plum and raisin notes. Enjoy our sweet black ruby indulgence tonight or relish at a future event.

Nutty toffee malt, raisin, fresh hay/grass, and alcohol aroma. Chestnut brown with moderate tan head. Moderately sweet raisin/prune, pecan toffee malt, and moderately bitter/astringent fresh hay flavor. Nice body and balance.

12oz bottle. Wow. NG nail it with this one. Big, but quite drinkable, never overbearing. Oh so pleasantly devoid of gimmicks and unwanted adjuncts. Rich, deep malts. Caramel, chocolate, toffee, fig, brown sugar. World Class example of the style. Really good.
