Our Wee Willy Scotch Ale uses Peated Malt in the mash. A “Peaty” malt flavor is the result – kind of smokey and sea-salty. Hopping is low but malt flavor and body is pronounced. Beer lovers will love this strong ale!!

A bottle left over after GABF judging and given to me as a reward for my volunteer efforts. Pours a finger of tan head over a very dark brown liquid. Smells wood-smokey and roast with noticeable alcohol sting with a little bit of DMS. There is also a bit of brettanomyces, but I wonder if that is an effect from the smoke.
Tastes caramel, smoke, chocolate, and brown sugar. The brettanomyces character is present in the flavor, but is subtle and I wonder if it is an effect from the smoke. Wet, but not sticky sweet. Finishes with some light colored-caramel and grassiness, perhaps from hops (though could be smoke jumping back in). Lingering light smoke with a carbonation that just cuts the sweet enough to keep the beer satisfying. Lighter in the mouth than I expected and modest carbonation. Nice beer.
