Steel Toe Wee Heavy

Steel Toe Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Dark burgundy brew, deep brown, small, soon-gone head.

Aroma: sweetness first, molasses and brown sugar, caramel and toffee, very nice.

Taste: Rich, dark malt flavor. All that sweetness from the nose comes rolling all over the tongue. And then the booze comes in and kicks it up another notch or three. Mmmm, solid. Just delicious. A hair shy of full-bodied. But next to yummy. A treat in every way.

Just enough hops in this thing, to keep from being a "malt bomb." Great balance, though, as is right for the style, and malt is truly king here. MMM, yum. All that sweetness, plus the balance, and a whole lot of big. Another success from Steel Toe.
