Sampled on tap at the source, my first visit to this south Edmonton operation. I love a peaty Wee Heavy, so this offering misses the mark. Malt forward with timid hints of smoke. Definitely Naught my thing...

1L howler from the brewpub - thanks for the samplers of your soda for my little dude, and the kombucha for this heretofore unaware older dude! On the flipside, another local operation where the brewer himself is giving his own offerings ultra-high marks (without justification, as if it matters) on Untappd - siiiiiiiigh!
This beer pours a murky, dark red-brick brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent bonsai tree forest profile lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of bready and biscuity caramel malt, brown sugar, and very little else. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, a touch of bittersweet cocoa powder, some mild free-range ashiness, and very, very tame earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters.
The carbonation is average in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a touch of smoke getting in the way of the otherwise expected ideal here. It finishes off-dry, barely, as the smoked malt keeps up its lingering pretenses.
Overall - this comes across as a rather thin, if still flavourful version of the style, with the near 15-proof booze quotient essentially well-masked. An appropriate enough ode to tonight's Burns Night celebrations occurring in the UK and in the broader diaspora, as such, but not nearly as heady or presentable as the better old-world iterations, IMHO.
