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

One of my faves. Bought a Growler at Greenlife on Merrimon Ave. in Asheville. Tastes fresh and wonderful. Great lacing and the flavor is bold and palate filling yet not over powerful. Wonderful roasted sugar cane and malty flavors.

WOW, I was suprised. Another great scotch ale from NC. pours a deep brown color with a small tan head. You are hit with a wonderful aroma of sweetness and maltyness. Flavor is all the same. Such a wonderful brew.

On tap at Tylers in Durham, NC. Deep ruby with a creamy head. Sweet, malty nose, wood notes, some caramel. Smooth, mild bourbon flavors over a decent caramelly sweet malt, a touch of smokiness. Very nice!

Hey Hey not a bad little brew. Pours red with a head. Haha I crack myself up. Seriously though, head was a nice thick white consistancy. This beer is certainly your classic scotch ale with woody and smokey notes all around. Not a bad one at all but I agree with ross if you have your choice go with Duck-Rabbit’s

I enjoyed this High Gravity on a tasting visit to the brewery. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Clearish orange, very small head. Aroma is vanilla, canteloupe, and black pepper. Taste is pepper, toast, and mild fruity flavors. Nicely belended and very drinkable. Really enjoyed this one. On draft at Barley’s, Asheville NC
