Leinenkugels - Big Eddy Wee Heavy Scotch Ale

Big Eddy Wee Heavy Scotch Ale is a tip of the cap to the brewers of Scotland. A blend of eight robust malts give Wee Heavy its complex flavor which is balanced by notes of dark chocolate, toffee and caramel.  Limited release, majestic brew with layer upon layer of malt complexity.

The ABV is 9.5 and the IBU rating is 18
Style - Wee Heavy Scotch Ale
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip, Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery 12oz Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a dark amber color with a tan head.  Good thick lacing.
Aroma - Dark fruit, molasses and sweet. 
Taste - Leathery - peat and malty, rich.
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation and body.  Pretty smooth.
Drinkable - Smells more like an English Barley Wine.  The aroma is nothing like the taste.  Not sure I would call it a Wee Heavy thou it is nice.  Will have another bottle or two please.......

This beer pairs very with meats and chocolate.

This beer gets a Duper rating of B
BeerAdvocate Rating = 83
Ratebeer Rating =94
