What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Nice blend of bready malt notes with a touch of esters—light pear and cider notes. Some earthy, wet hay hops aroma behind the malt.”
Flavor: “Moderate malt with mostly toast and a bit of toffee. Esters bring out a cola character along with burnt sugar, bready malt, fresh pear, and low earthy and spicy hops. The carbonation is perfect—any higher and it would impact drinking. For as malty as this beer tastes, with all of its bread crust and biscuit notes, it is remarkably drinkable and relatively dry.”
Overall: “A beer made for drinking all day, especially with leaves or snowflakes falling. Not too sure if the sweetness would build from the caramel, but the beer seems to be fermented out so it might not be an issue. Wonderfully executed.”
What the Brewers Say
“Wee Mac Scottish-style Ale is an enticing and malty brown ale with caramel, cocoa, and hazelnut character balanced with toffee undertones.”
