Here is the tasting notes on my beer, done objectively and in a blind tasting against two others.



Wee heavy tasting:

Aroma:
heavy malty nose, with hints of raisin and marmalade, some alcohol noted in aroma as it warms
No hint of hops

Appearance.:
Inviting leather brown in appearance, head quickly subsided and when swirled in a snifter there was some subtle legs to the beer hinting at a higher alcohol level than might be expected in a typical wee heavy, small bubbles rise in the glass in streams

Flavor: the first sip is dominated by caramel and malt flavors, followed quickly by dried fruit notably raisin and prune, there is a nice oaky flavor in the background that meshes well with the beer. The finish is a lingering sweetness balanced with a nice alcohol warmth that reminds me of a nice port wine.

Mouthfeel:
Full bodied and chewy, no hot alcohol burn noted at serving temp of 58 degrees.
Lingering sweetness with a dryness that almost verges on tartness. This I attribute to hops bittering, oak aging, and dark roasted malts. Nice moderate carbonation that is between an English ale and an American amber.

Overall impression:
Dessert like in its mouthfeel and sweetness, a big chewy malt bomb that is quite pleasing to just sip..... something I would enjoy with a bold cigar after a hard day,
