I have been anxious to try this beer for some time now. I was happy to hear that a local liquor store was now carrying it, along with a few other of the Alesmith beers.

So I grabbed a few bottles, and here we go...

Beer pours a nice tawny brown color with a decent white head.

Aromas are great. Dark fruits, booze, smoke, and a bit of pine.

Beer is HUGE tasting. Very thick and full mouthfeel. Wonderfully coats the mouth and the tongue. Sweet malts, fruity, and with some smokey oak flavors. Finish is bitter, hoppy, and with a warm alcohol finish.

Drinkability is good. This is a very nice sipping Wee Heavy. It's really big, and probably would benefit from some aging. But it's still excellent right now. One of the best Wee Heavy brews I have ever had. The beer formally known as Fat Bastard from Silver City might be just a touch better IMHO since it's a little easier to drink, but this is still top notch.
