A Wee Heavy is a strong complex Scottish Ale. We used a simple recipe of pale malt, roasted barley and a handful of East Kent Goldings before boiling for a staggeringly long time to encourage caramelisation and get it up to 9.9% It then spent 4 months maturing in an ex-Bourbon Whisky cask. Expect lots of toffee, caramel and plum, married with the Vanilla Bourbon oak tones. This is a dangerously drinkable full-bodied beer that gives a hit you’ll want to come back for time after time.

Can bought at The Hive, Crowthorne. Aroma is rich and malty. Burnt caramel. Use. Dark fruit. Alcohol. Dark and glossy. Foamy microbubbled beige head. Boozy beer here. It's the first flavour sensation. Followed by chocolatey malts and caramel with a berry edge. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. Nice enough but could dial down the booze.
