Poured from growler.

A- Poured a light brown color with some off amber highlights when the light hits it. One finger cream colored head show medium retention. Light streaks of lace down my glass with each sip.

S- Lots of malts in the nose. Caramel and toffee overtones linger throughout the aroma. Hints of earthiness with a light bitter hopping toward the ending of the aroma. Nice blend of the nose overall.

T- Lots of caramel malts and toffee overtones on the front of the beer. There is some oak to this around the middle of the beer that lingers as a undertone with the caramel coming through more. Hints of toffee and light nutty flavor toward the ending. Alcohol is in the backing but not distracting.

M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the style. Caramel malts and hints of toffee left on the palate. Aftertaste was warming alcohol, light nutty taste, and lingering caramel/toffee overtones. Flavors were actually quite well balanced for the style. No off flavors were present as I drank this beer. Medium alcohol drying on the palate with each sip.

O- This was a nice well put together beer with flavors that linger but not overly so. A good take on the style and yet another beer from Sun King that I enjoy to drink. Great job guys!

I like to imagine this beer as Wee Mac on steroids (the good kind of steroids, that is). While I've admittedly only had Java Mac from Sun King, I was so underwhelmed by the experience that I resigned to not even try the base-beer from which its coffee variant was derived. That aside, Wee Muckle is the cat's pajamas. The flavor is all-malt, which is foreshadowed by it's deep-dark color. While sweeter than other Scotch Ales, I feel that is perhaps part of its allure, as it goes down smooth and begs the palate for another sip.

A - Dark brown, almost black, color, some transparency, but the body is so dark it is hard to see. The head forms a light tan, but fades quickly.

S - A mild nose, mostly of dark fruits, cherries and plums, candy and sugar, a hint of molasses, dark bread.

T - The primary note is a definite cherry hit, but with warmth the fruit elements open, introducing plums and raisins. There is a hint of almond flavoring, a bit of dark chocolate. Dark, slightly spicy bread is present in the middle. The close is acidic, with almost cola like spikiness along with the more sour elements of a cherry.

M - Sticky, but surprisingly light. The close is sufficient to clear the palate, despite the definite sweetness overall.

O - Well executed, but with flavor notes that are not in my wheelhouse. As such, though I can recognize the solidly built quality and complexity and depth, I do not think this is one I'd seek out again.
