Apr 7, 2007 Bottle - Dark amber color with thick offwhite head. Notes of floral, fruit, sour malt. Woody flavors of malt, bitter hops, not as sour as in the aroma, but a hint of lemon and some sweetness - bitter hops finish.

Apr 3, 2007 More like strong light scotch ale than barley wine. Less botterscotch sweetness and more fruit and dry bitter hops than scotch ale. Earthy peat smokiness.

Mar 31, 2007 The aroma was nutty with strong caramel and smoke and a deep malty nature. The peated smoke was strong and fruity coupled with the malt and dark fruit complexity. The beer poured into the glass chunky and a bit nasty with suspended proteins in the amber brew with an off-white low lasting head which laced the glass. The flavor was malty with a strong presence of caramelization coupled with a nice smoky phenolic from the peated malt. Dark fruits, namely raisins, were present and the flavor was well balanced and well achieved. The finish was dry with a phenolic smoke character lasting into the aftertaste. The body was medium full and with a moderate level of carbonation was creamy in the mouthfeel and on the palate. A very nice Wee Heavy, well crafted and just the perfect amount of smoke. 11.2 ounce bottle.
