This is a very earthy beer, with dirt and vegetable flavor. Quite sweet with malt, no perceivable hops. Very smooth, but thick and heavy also. The alcohol is well hidden. It becomes sweet and the palate smoother as it warms. GodOfThunder (886), Orlando, Florida, USA

Fairly Murkey Brown with a slight ruby glow towards the bottom of the glass with a off-white to slightly beige head. The aroma is very malt forward, lots of sweet aromas, caramel, maybe some brown sugar although faint. The flavor is full of strong smokey, sweet malts and thats really all I get. It seems to be full-bodied and syrupy with a slight semi-dry finish. This isn’t my kind of beer but I’m definitely trying to warm up to more of this style. BrewDad (2393), Olympia, Washington, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 10, 2009 Clear reddish-brown color, almost no head. Deep rich fruity malts, rich Noble hops, a mild bubblegum aroma. Rich mouthfeel. Fruity malts, caramel, very mild hop character, no real smoke or peat notes but still a very nice malty Wee Heavy. mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 12, 2009 Courtesy JMFG. Pours a fairly hazy brown, with a medium off white head. Smells of dark sweet fruits, some definite caramel malt, and some brown sugar as well. smells like a wee heavy. The flavor was fairly syrupy and sweet, definitely sticky on the palate. The dark fruits and malts really form the bond that creates the flavor profile here as you might expect. very solid brew as expected from these guys, although not outstanding.
