Beer sent courtesy of naproxen in the Naked Beer Geek BIF - thanks again!

Ol' Wetty comes out a semi-hazy mahogany brown into the Maredsous tulip, not much head or lacing - not surprising considering the 10% ass this one contains.

Holy moly, lots of barrel aged bourbon in the aroma, and I likey! And the quaff is all bourbon, malt and a hint of smoked peat. Whoo boy, this is one loaded up power brew - biggest scotch ale I've ever enjoyed. I'm a lucky guy to be able to have sampled this fine brew!

3.91/5  rDev -0.8%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

A: Pours a hazy, slightly reddish amber color with minimal head that dissipates to a very small patch of lacing that seemingly struggles to maintain itself.

S: Light notes of caramel, some hoppiness and very light notes of yeast are present, almost a breadiness. Some alcohol is present in the nose as well.

T: Dark fruits dominate with sugary sweetness in the background along with a very slight hop profile. Some sweeter notes of vanilla and toffee are present on the finish.

M: A very full bodied beer with a 'boozey' quality to it, thick and syrupy on the tongue.

O: Overall, very tasty and enjoyable, not the best Scotch Ale, but definitely one that I would purchase, and enjoy, again.
