Pelican MacPelicans Wee Heavy Scottish Style Ale

Massively powerful and sweet nose; lifted sweet berry fruit, almost fruit-cake like with truckloands of zingy fruit. Unique. Similar to taste with the thick fruit-cake again dominating along with licorice. A bit over the top for mine but not outside the bounds of the style. Good fun.

On tap at the Pelican Brewery into a Snifter glass. Pours a dark, thick looking amber brown with a dark red tone to it. Not much head on this guy, it quickly receded to the sides of the glass. What is there is very tanned. The aroma has a very thick and heavy toffee hint with a very powerful dark and sweet malt nose. The flavor brings a very velvety carmalized malt and dark fruity (cherries and plums) taste at the start, which progresses into a well balanced hop noted alcohol finish that is present, but hiding at the same time. Nicely full-bodied, while being very smooth at the same time. So good, I had to bring a growler home with me!
