Big Eddy Wee Heavy

Sorry for the lack of updates, but work sucks...in light of the shit that is work I am starting big this evening: 9.5% Scotch Ale...


2012 is the first year that Leinenkugel has brewed the Wee Heavy as part of their Big Eddy series and from what I have just tasted, this was a good idea. Wee Heavy is precisely what I expected it to be...and more. The beer pours with minimal carbonation and is a brilliant amber color. You can smell the sweetness right away..loads of caramel and toffee, with hints of vanilla. Compared to other wee heavies that I have had this is much more like an American barleywine. The brew is really drinkable and will certainly satisfy your sweet-tooth. As usual, I have nothing more to say about this beer...just think Sweetwater 15 or Bristol Old No. 23...and that is all you need to know.
Overall, a choice selection and well worth the price if you are digging the malty goodness.
