Commercial Description:
Unlike the lighter "Scottish" ales, this is an authentic heavy Scotch ale. It is lightly hopped with a strong malt character, and a hint of peaty smokiness. Warm fermentation produces fruity esters and balances the sweet malt character.

This ale pours a nice ruby amber with a small head. Caramel and a sweet malt on the nose. Taste is much of the same but in a much lighter version. Also this Wee Heavy is a lot lighter in body than usual. Very Drinkable and overall not to shabby!

Sour, rye, and hops dominate the aroma on this reddish brown pour. It has a nice roasted, peat malt flavor that is complimented by a certain amount of sourness.

2008-09-02. Headless copper brown body. Lightly roast caramel malt aroma. (6+) Similar flavour, moderately sweet caramel malt base, just enough bitterness to keep it somewhat balanced. Average plus palate is lightly carbonated. Not bad. Bottle, Hangar on the Wharf, Juneau

Great buttery smell, texture and taste. Great lacing. The buttery aspect of this ale is amazing. I almost expect this one to have cholesterol.

7/20/08 On draught at the Dog & Pony, Renton, Wa. Aroma is grape candy forward followed by caramel malt. Appearance is clear copper with a well maintained white head. Flavor is all sweet malt forward, citrusy, with caramel and medium bittering. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy, medium/full bodied with a medium carb bite and acid tang. Overall, rich and sweet, but never overwhelmingly sweet.
