The colour of burnished copper, strong with a caramely sweetness. A malt driven beer, lightly balanced with classic Goldings and Willamette hop flowers. A very special grain recipe is what makes this brew so malty and tasty, a very special blend of English Malts, some of which are dark roasted to impart the toffee and sweet flavours of this ale. Brewed to the style of the Wee Heavy of Scotland, it is an exceptional style that fits so well with our philosophy of brewing beers that are enjoyable to drink.

[1/10] Tap at brewery. Brown, beige head. Mild caramel and grass nose, hints of vanilla and prunes. Caramel sweetness with some burnt touches. Thick body for the alcohol content. Not really my sort of thing, but pleasant enough. [2.8] [10/16] Coming around to this a little after a few tries. But only a little. Much as before with firm peppery bitterness at the end.

Bottle at the Chriso Gaylord tasting 09. Russet colour, haze, lasting beige head. So what is it that makes this a Scotch Ale? Not much hop presence, some toffee malt. What is it? Sweetish toffee is the overall impression.

Bottled. Clear nut brown. Flowey nose. Sweet and soapy with medium boody and notes of molasses. I found the malt profile to be bold and simplistic, and there was not much hops to cover it up.
