Sep 16, 2006 From notes 5/9/03:
Robust copper color. Rather clear. Light beige fluffy head formed and left some creamy lacing behind. A malty aroma, but very very subtle. Almost no discernible scent to detect if you’re not paying attention.
A rich malty taste, nothing overly roasted or smoky. Subtley hopped at the end of the taste. Too thin for me to be a true "wee heavy", still there was some creaminess to it.

Aug 22, 2005 Draught at Fox & Parrot. Cloudy amber with off-white head. The aroma has some yeast and just a whiff of hops. Smooth palate. Mild hoppy flavor with a little bite to the finish. Not bad, but it lacks something. I recommend drinking it cooler than room temp.

Aug 22, 2005 on draught. Pours a cloudy amber shade with a whitish head. The aroma is somewhat thin and kind of yeasty. This beer has a moderate hoppiness and is overall bitter, but not overpowering in any sensation.

Jun 21, 2005 On tap at the James Joyce pub in Durham, NC. This beer is sort of amber colored with a thin head. Malts are present in the aroma but all I could taste in the flavor was water. Very boring and weak ale. Not worth making a Wee Heavy if you can’t get the ABV where you want it.

May 29, 2005 My first French Broad brew. Had it on draught at Barley’s Taproom in Asheville. The commercial description says "malty, toasty, strong and sweet," but to me, the flavor of the brew was dominated by bitter hops. This is not necessarily a bad thing... but it also doesn’t necessarily make a scotch ale either. I’m finding that NC’s ABV% is beginning to limit the bredth of my beer tasting range. Hopefully the pop the cap legislation will pass the state senate.
