Commercial Description:
Our Wee Heavy-er Scotch Ale is based on our Wee Heavy Scotch Ale recipe, but with a little more-er alcohol. This traditional Scotch Lowland ale is one of our most popular brews. Some of you may remember the original Wee-Heavy from the days when North Carolina brewers could not brew beers containing more than 6% ABV. We would like to take a moment and thank the people of Pop-the-Cap for all their hard work. Gold Medal - 2002 World Beer Championships, Chicago

Bottle thanks to Cavie. Not digging the aroma. Smells like stale chocolate and a little bitter baking cocoa. Taste is subtle yet great. Malts, a touch of hops, caramel, and some earthy notes. Aftertaste is lasting and malty.

Bottle from Cindirene’s. Pours copper with off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, with earthy and spicy yeasty notes. Tastes caramel malty, with some fruit, tannins, yeasty esters, and that yeasty twang that I get with all FBbeers.

22oz bottle from matt... Pours a dark caramel brown with a thin soapy light head... Aroma of toasty and bready caramel... Tremendously fluffy in the mouth with soft tobacco and caramel...

22oz Bottle from TURDFERGUSON. This one found its way to the back of the fridge for some reason. Pours a brownish tea color with a modest head. Smell is lightly of earth, tea and some coffee. Taste is close to the nose, with some fruit and malt showing themselves. It tastes like a Mcdonalds sweet tea, with beer.Not a bad beer, just not real overly good.

Pours a dark brown hue with no sustaining head. Nose is nutty and sweet dark malts, fairly subdued. Flavor is also nutty malts with a hint of coffee sweetness, slight hops to balance out. A decent brown ale, but nothing stands out here.

Dark, hazy brown with a tan head. Aroma is some roasted malt. Flavor is very malty with a slight sweetness underneath. Finish has some hints of hops, but overall this is a malty beer. Very drinkable but not impressive.

(bottle - 22 oz) Dark copper pour with a creamy looking tan head. Aroma is malty and smokey with hints of peat and dark fruits. Flavor is very tangy and peaty at the beginning with a smooth caramel malt middle and a slightly bitter hop finish. Very drinkable.
