Icelandic Wee Heavy
8.0% Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy
Viking history in Scotland goes back a thousand years. Even our brew master studied in Edinburgh, where he carefully surveyed the local brew. Our Scotch Ale is the first of its kind to use Icelandic-grown, birch-smoked barley in collaboration with Eimverk distillery in Garðabær. We then add native Icelandic Angelica, a fabled herb used by Vikings past. Our Wee Heavy is rich and hearty, with a touch of smokiness, and remains incredibly balanced. Your tastebuds have no choice but to be conquered.

👁 rotbraun; feinporiger Schaum 👃🏻 Trockenobst, Rumtopf 👄 In diesem Bereich geht es auch am Gaumen weiter: Rosinen, getrocknete Pflaumen und Aprikosen. Das alles versehen mit einer veritablen Süße. So etwa sieht die eine Seite dieses Bieres aus. Dazu gesellt sich dann eine herbe, ja eher bittere Kräuternote, die ich der Angelikawurzel zuschreiben würde. Diese Kräuterliköranleihen hätte ich nicht unbedingt gebraucht.

Wee Heavy is a good Scottish Ale. Has great taste and a good balance between sweet and hop. I would recommend it

Another nice one tonight. Sticking to the dark side at this point. This has a sweet dark malt with caramel, dark bread, light honey. Has hints of a slightly spicy/earthy sarsaparilla like taste. That is the best I can describe it. I’m not exactly sure what it is. Overall it is really nice. It’s sweet but not overly sweet. My only disappointment is that I didn’t pick up any real peat taste. I love when they have a strong smoked peat taste. This one didn’t but was really good otherwise.
