had to wade through endless complaints from blunt palate dipshits about this beer. If you’ve been into the beer trading game for less than 18 months, you’re gonna want bakery aisle shit dumped into the secondary, and you absolutely do not want any style that is not a stout. It never fails. Guys who have little to no experience with Scotch Ales/Wee Heavies/Quads suddenly polish up their Certified Beer Server lapel pins with lofty opinions. I loved the last version of this, so let’s get a few things straight. This is going to be thinner than a massive barleywine, not every barleywine has to have a robitussin b2 deal with the devil viscosity to be “good” and there are no fucking green apples in this. GREEN APPLES. There are two buzzwords Untappd fleshlight riders love to quote: DIACETYL and PHENOLIC. This is not diacetyl. This is not needlessly phenolic. It is tightly tuned like a Shinola and presents a taut malts base that has the roasty throbbing baked bread meets english malt toastiness. The core is engaged throughout. 

The barrel is almost overpowering for such a delicate base, but it never gets fusel or loses its footing. There’s a creme brulee and pretzel roll soaked in rum. The real danger is how potent this is relative to how accessible it is. It’s like how they should charge way more money for the SS Camaro because people are going to kill themselves. People will wrap themselves around a Wee Heavy telephone pole with this one. In all reality, most of these bottles will be split 9 ways in between pours of other obnoxious Jelly Belly ticks, so the ratings wont reflect the attendant power of a graceful Wee that sweeps the leg. This beer exhibits massive barrel, high above the mucky muck, castle made of clouds.

As a whole, this beer is very good and excels the exceptional BA Wee Heavy offerings from Alesmith. The body isn’t resonant enough to sheet hard, so your swallows are larger, vascularity increases. I drank this while playing Horizon Zero Dawn and by the time I finished this, a game based on stealth and bowskills was unplayable. The “Totinos Pizza Roll Probability Index” approaches almost absolute certainty.
