On-tap at Pizza Port San Clemente, on to the beer:
A half-inch of head tops this dark brown beer, with spotted lace trailing behind. Wee Heavy tends to be a malt-forward beer, and that is exactly where Pizza Port have gone. Soft smoke notes, dates, chocolate, sweet but not overbearing sweet. It's a pleasing flavor, and I'm glad that Pizza Port resisted the temptation of hopping this one up. It's a full bodied beer which buries the alcohol content.

Beautiful dark mahogany color in the pint shaker. Nice head with plenty of lacing. Nutty, sweet, and spritzy on the tongue. Even tastes like it has peanut butter in it. It's a totally mellow, goes down easy, strong brew.
There is a sweet smack of smoke but not anything overbearing. The peaty flavors are just the way to jack up this malty brew. Utterly drinkable and you'll be talking gibberish in no time, or your name isn't Jock. On tap at Pizza Port in San Clemente.

On tap for the first anniversary party at Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach, CA.
Pours a slightly murky orange-brown with a foamy bone colored head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt, caramel, and slight smoke aromas. Taste is much the same with a slight grape jelly/jam flavor on the finish. There is a mild amount of ashy bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer but I am not sure sure about the grape jelly flavor that I am picking up here.
