Back up to Highlander Brewing Company in South River for tonight's #2-4BeersofChristmas entry. I picked this up early this year and have been holding on to it for just such an occasion. Tonight we are trying the Wee Heavy which is a higher alcohol version of a Scotch Ale.
Onto our beer..
Pours a slightly cloudy reddish chestnut with a darker tan head made up of small to tiny bubbles. Nose is a toasty, caramel, malt forward, alcohol-laden aroma. First sip is sweet and bready with lots of smoky caramel. Lots of biscuit and bread through the middle. Aeration brings out some more complex flavours, coffee and molasses warming alcohol and nutty.
Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional
Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 5/6 PASS
Beer Style: 5/6 PASS
Re-Order: 5/6 PASS
Experience: 5/6 PASS
Christmas Cheer 5/6 PASS
Final Thoughts:
A good warming Christmas beer with lots of complex malty flavours, and a nice hit of alcohol. Definitely worth a shot... pick one up.
Cheers
