This is our version of the "wee heavy" ales from Scotland. A blend of five different malts and an extra long boil gives this beer its full-bodied and deep ruby-red colour. The low hop rate allows for a sweeter tasting brew that's suitable to fend off the winter chill and will warm you up from the belly out.

Pours a very small frothy head and had a dark amber appearance. The head is fairly consistent throughout. Weak lacing. Aromas are fairly mild, light malts, spices. Flavours are mainly raisins, malts, light hops. Sort of a scotch like finish on the palate. Medium bodied mouthfeel. Takes a while to get through, that's for sure.

Pint at the Arrow & the Loon. Pours a deep amber colour, almost copper. Warm cap and not much lacing. Aromas of dates and caramel. The mouthfeel is wet, not syrupy. The taste is so mild, it feels like a light beer. The dates and other dark fruits are present, with some mild hops. Hints of caramel and apples in the finish. Not bad, but lacking the attack of a Wee Heavy.

The beer pours a dark brown colour with a thin tan head. Aroma consists of molasses, dark fruit, and caramel. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt, molasses, and some roastiness with a bitter finish -

Tapped from the brewey taps and bottled: Pours a deep dark copper with ruby highlights..decent cap that longers and frosts the glass sides from the lace it leaves. Aroma: Caramel sweetness, cocoa, Mocha, smoke, some light grassyness. Big dose of chewy toasty malts in the front...some caramel malts give sweeness but no cloying...hops rush in to stave off the sweeetness..mid papate we get smoke, cocoa, some walnut skin astringency....finishes malty with tailing bittering...a good drink for sure. This has the scotch ale-wee heavy malt-forward/hop-attenuated profile, some smoke as expected but with a nice cocoa flair and breadiness from the 5 malt mix...good Job Amsterdam...a good beer...who cares if it’s not bloody exactly like Edinburgh-made WH..it’s still a good wee quaff.
