Notes:
This beer is retired; no longer brewed.
It’s OK to be a Wee Heavy Much has been made of the ills of smoking. Jinx thinks there’s nothing wrong with it. For years, he stood strong with his peat-smoked whiskey malt mash. He held his head high when others made fun of his wee heavy physique, becoming a mainstay in Magic Hat’s Night of the Living Dead Variety 12-Pak. People said he’d never attain an Original Gravity above 15.1 degrees Plato or an ABV above 6%. He proved them wrong. Take Magic Hat into the next alellenium. Vote Jinx.

Paid around $2 for a single at The Party Source...
The beer pours a clear amber colored base with a thin white head, a ring of retention and no lacing. Aroma is fairly faint, some sweet malts and barley are in there somewhere.
Contrary to the smell, this beer has a well-balanced flavor. Floral sting in the beginning, substantial malt flavor with a sweet aftertaste, moderate-to-full body and ends with a hint of cardamom/lemon/honey floral sweetness, very nice! Fairly smooth in the mouth, albeit a bit heavy and at 6.9% this scotch ale is a nice session brew.
Final Thought: A great offering to those beer connoisseurs looking some something original and not overpowering. Very pleased.
