Apr 21, 2002 Updated: Mar 23, 2007Rerate: Newer bottles just don’t have the peaty, earthy depth, and are more sweet than the 2001 bottles. Original: Rerate 2001 bottle, shared with Hey_K and Frank - yes, deeply malty and with very handleable diacetyl, not too much alcohol in nose or flavor, intensely woody, but not sharp like oak, more mapley - delicious. Up from 4.2 to much more. Stored with great care for 2 years. Original: 4/21/02 - 2000 Bottle: Top notch. Rich maltiness, deep, chewy is absolutely right. Like I’m climbing Ben freakin’ Nevis.

Feb 19, 2006 This was freaking awesome. PIcked it up in Ohio. I loved everything about it. Deep black color with no head. Smells like Scotch, carmel, molasses, and only a hint of chocolate. Pretty carbonated. Has flavors of butterschotch, Scotch, Almond extract, vanilla, chocolate, carmel, and heavy cream. Very very fucking smooth. This is such a kickass beer.

Feb 9, 2005 I shared a bottle of this with a friend. Pours dark brown, with pretty much no head. The aroma is nice and sweet and malty. Taste is also nice and malty, carmamel, and also the alcohol is slighty noticeable on the way down. The mouthfeel is great, very smooth and good for sipping. overall this beer is very good, perfect for late at night drinking and relaxing.

Jan 27, 2006 I wish this beer was available in my area, but unfortunately for me it’s not. A truly delicious scotch ale. Pours deep dark chocolate, with a short lasting off white head. Yeast floaties all over in the liquid. Rich aroma of Smoke, cherries, chewy caramel, plums and moist chocolate. Flavor is similar to aroma with a nice roasty character. Nice rewarding finish. A strong yet approachable brew. Alesmith is quality all the way! This may be my highest rated beer yet!

Dark red brown pour. Just a slight alcoholic bite. Very nice molasses, raisin, and just a touch of smoke here. A dry hoppy finish. Just another superb beer from a brewery that has not disappointed me with any of their beers. Now if they could only distribute in MN I would be an extremely happy man.

May 21, 2006 750ml bottle - Poured dark, reddish brown with a creamy, moderate sized head that left excellent lacing. The assertive aroma is a wonderful blend of yeast and malts with dark fruit notes. The intense flavor matches the aroma and throws in some coffee and chocolate notes in the dry finish. This ale has a big, full mouthfeel and little alcohol presence given the high ABV. It’s a truly excellent ale. The smiths have done it again.

Aug 23, 2006 The quintessential scotch ale, wee heavy has a bracing fresh nose of baked bread, some yeast, and caramel sticky sweetness. Palate is amazingly smooth with soft carbonation. Flavor begins the same as the nose, but takes a turn for the richer, darker side with a plum and raisin character that is rounded out by a friendly smokiness. Chewy and intoxicating, this is an achievement in a brew.
