We opted to brew a Wee Heavy together, born out of both sides' love for tradition.Adding our modern twist on this malt-forward style, we’ve added Heather & Honey to build layers of flavour in this 6.8% classic. We have changed the chemistry of our water to match the Scottish water profile for a soft & clean mouthfeel as well as using Fallen Acorns house yeast strain to blend with a clean English strain to accentuate the malt profile.

Deep copper in colour, with a rich complex malt base with fragrant Heather and balanced with a honey sweetness. Expect biscuit & caramel sweetness with floral spiced notes from the heather and subtle dried dark fruits in the background all rounded off with a light honey hue.

Had on tap. Brown body, tan cap and bands of lacing. Nice malt leading the nose with light toasted caramel, big earth and acorn. Taste has the malt come across as toffee instead of caramel, big acorn with supporting earth. Not robust at all, in fact the feel is kind of thin for style, but very smooth.
