Received in trade from limesmut and mikesgroove, thanks for the opportunity guys. Pours a slightly hazy deep garnet with an off white head that disappears quickly. Smells of toffee, some peat and a bit of higher alcohol. Taste is sweet! Well it should be for the style. Mix in some fusel, a bit of peat, maybe a faint touch of hops and you’ve got a beer. The taste ends with an almost lactic twang in the background. Its not real pronounced, but its there. This bottle has been aged a bit so there’s no telling when it got there. Thick sweet mouthfeel, medium to heavy body. Not a bad brew, I wish I could have tried it fresh though.

Bottle thanks to decaturstevo. Very solid scotch ale. Pours dark muddy brown with nose and taste of dark molasses, brown sugars and loads of caramel. Slight chocolate in the finish.

OK, what up with this high alky brew? Yes, a wee heavy and on top of that; oily sweet sugary trist. Bitter sweet medicine finsih with each slug. Almost triggers the gag reflex but in a good beery way. Experience overall is old and rude, right on style, heheh. Gunk on bottom and this beers color is brownish orange. Not much for a pale lager lover to love here!

Location: 12 oz bottle from Wine and Beer Westpark, 1/21/10
Aroma: Sweet caramel malts, earthy roast, some fruity character, smoke
Appearance: Pours a hazy dark amber color with a bubbly beige head
Flavor: Flavor is moderate-high sweetness, fruity, with a tart and sweet finish
Palate: Mouthfeel is chewy, alcohol is well hidden, medium (plus) bodied, carbonation is soft
Overall Impression: This is an interesting Scotch Ale, certainly not a exactly how you might describe the style, but an interesting interpretation. A little too sweet, though the tartness does provide just a drop of balance. Solid beer. I didn't love it, but I liked it enough.

Wee Heavy is not my most favorite style, but when I was presented this beer (through a mishap where I was supposed to get their coffee porter) I was intrigued. It wasn’t bad! The pour was a dark amber with a small light-tan head. Aroma is malts, nuts, caramel. Flavor is malts, nutty and caramel. Alcohol stands out, which might be my only downside to the entire experience.

355ml bottle. Redish brown with a thin beige head. Aroma of sweet malt, dry fruit, sherry and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, dry fruit, some caramel, wood, alcohol and a bitter finish. Quite heavy and sweet body, still somehow balanced on the bitter side. Lovly.

Bottle. A ruby-brown, almost clear beer with a small beige head on top. Malty and sweetish nose, with nice hops, alcohol and caramel. Alcohol, beef-stock, dried fruits, sherry, some hops and phenols, caramel and dried fruits in the flavor. Warming, full-bodied and well carbonated. The finish has dried fruits, hops, alcohol and some roasted malt. A really lovely, warming and full-bodied winter beer, maybe a bit on the sweet side, but really nice. (090522)
