Pours a deep brown slightly ruby color, with a light brown creamy head. Head doesn’t last long. Not much of an aroma. Very delicious malt flavors with some fruity notes. Ends with a roasted malt flavor. Delicious and easy to drink.

Pours a deep amber red with a pillowy caramel coloured head. Aroma is of butterscotch, dried fruit and smoke. Tastes like apples, butterscotch, dried fruit, spices, vanilla, and caramel. Mouth feel is oily and very pleasant. Really nice!

I am a fan! Aroma: not much; faint alcohol was all I could get Great dark color with 2 finger head Perfect heaviness for mouthfeel; almost creamy. I did not detect bitterness like others jult malt and a slightly burnt taste at the end. First for me and won’t be the last!!

Very well crafted strong ale. I rather enjoyed this one. Doesn’t kick you in the stomach like some others do.

Tasted 3/1/09. 500ml bottle. Filtered with a deep ruby, brown hue. Layer of khaki head. Malty bready aromas with a caramel and fudge note. Mild esters in the nose. Medium bodied with a rich palate and rather malt dominant. Sweet malty character. Bready flavors with a mix of cola astringency and dark dried fruits. Toffee and starting to show a little buttery flavor. Faint wisp of bitter hops in the middle of the palate. Finishes sticky and lingers with a tangy effervescence. Mild burnt, smokey character in the end.

# 777 ersma: "wee heavy" - ein merkwürdiger name. kann das typisch schottische "wee" doch sowohl "klein" als auch "pullern" bedeuten. was meint die brauerei wohl? rotbraune farbe, erstaunlich viel schaum für ein ale, der dazu auch noch recht stabil ist. geruch ist intensiv röstmalzig-süßlich, erinnert an nüsse, pflaumen und frisches brot. antrunk süßlich, röstmalzig, karamell- und dörrpflaumen-aromen. dazu nussigkeit und sirup. die mitte wird herber, ohne dass die intensiven aromen nachliessen. der abgang bringt eine minimale spritigkeit mit. vorherrschend bleibt die röstmalzige würzigkeit. sehr spät wird der hopfen wieder dominanter. die hauseigene flasche zeigt auf ovalem etikett mit goldrand ein großes bild eines wappenlöwen. drum herum auf bordeaux und mittendurch in gold die schrift. das rücketikett ist etwas verdruckt. fazit: die deutschen sollten mehr ale importieren.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with hints of amber. A bleach white head. Great alcohol taste.
