Tonight's beer:
Opens richly sweet: caramel and molasses, toast, bread, layers of dark dried fruits—figs, dates, plums, cherries. Smoke and peat open up and reveal earthy-grassy bitterness. Evolves to gently dry, with a dim trace of vanilla around the finish.
Kinda thick and definitely chewy, moderately carbonated. Chewy and sticky, round and smooth. Gently drying, edging toward refreshing. Substantial and filling.
A delicious and pretty true-to-style Wee Heavy, from a brewery I've had a soft spot for, for about as long as I've been into beer. Remarkably intense and complex, a bit of a malt bomb but something like balanced. Drinkable as hell, wonderfully well-integrated, supple and graceful.
