True to the Norgrove's Scottish Heritage, this Wee Heavy is brewed with Scottish malts and lightly hopped with East Kent Goldings. Big and Malty sweet, this ale will have you hearing bagpipes.

On tap at Bear Republic Brewing Company in Healdsburg, CA.

Pours a hazy copper with a foamy khaki head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Thick swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt, caramel, and dark fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with toast, caramel covered fruit, and spice flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and sticky mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that has a nice mix of fruit and sticky sugar qualities.

Serving type: on tap.

On tap at Rattle n Hum, NYC. Malty, caramel & almost a maple sweetness are the first impressions. Great texture & really full flavors make this a very enjoyable beverage. Probably more appropriate in cooler months, but anything this good is always welcome.
