Wee Heavy. Great winter beer. Malty, sweet, minimal hop bite. One of my favorites.

Today, we're diving deep into the rich and malty world of Wee Heavy, also known as Scotch Ale. This beer style will wrap you in a blanket of warmth, making it an ideal choice for those chilly winter evenings. Characterized by its overwhelmingly malty profile, Wee Heavy offers a smooth and balanced sweet maltiness. When you take a sip, you'll be met with a mouthfeel that ranges from medium-full to full-bodied, with some versions even presenting a thick, chewy viscosity.
