Smell: Slightly sour-sweet smelling, relatively odorless.
Taste: More Irish than Scottish ale, like a combination of Guinness and Smithwicks.
Mouthfeel: Very little coverage, but a slight "twinge" of sourness at the back corners of the tongue; creamy.
Drinkability: This was beer #1, both sequentially and in terms of quality, in my journey along the 29th Annual European Beer Tour (2009) over at friendly and always enjoyable Quenchers Saloon. It is a fine, easy drinking beer with universal praise from my compatriots at the Beer Tour. Likely the least "controversial" beer of the tour in terms of universal acceptability, it nevertheless lacked nothing in quality and stand-alone enjoyability. A terrific beer, especially served on cask, that will make my regular rotation. This is what the Beer Tour was created for.
Serving type: Draft
Grade: A
Brewer says: "It may have come from a right old recipe but Wee Heavy fits the bill today as much as it ever has. It is a classic Scottish heavy but has a lightness of flavour and a great reddish colour in the glass. Cracking stuff if we do say so ourselves."
