Product details

Some Scottish historians theorize that Charles Stuart didn't flee Scotland after the failed 1745 uprising; instead, he had a few too many Wee Heavies in the Outer Hebrides and then just sort of woke up in France. History may keep her secrets, but you can share the experience of a Wee Heavy. There's a little Jacobite Revolution in every bottle. These are the very strongest of all Scottish ales, with a garnet-brown hue, profound maltiness and high alcohol content. Our Wee Heavy showcases complex toffee and vinous notes and a restrained hop character. Best imbibed in small doses, this kit continues to develop with age and is great for cellaring. 

Due to the high starting gravity of this kit, we recommend pitching multiple packs of yeast or preparing a yeast starter for best results.

wee heavy

Good beer

It's not as dark as Murphy's or Guiness beer, but that is ok. If you like semi-dark beer that has high alcohol content, this is for you. If you prefer a Miller Lite style beer, move on, don't make or drink this. Me, I prefer actual beer like this (plus or minus on the dark scale). Yes, I'd buy it again. Yes, it does take a wee bit longer to brew than other beers.

So far, so good

I brewed the Scottish Wee Heavy extract kit about a month ago. Very easy. Fermented in primary for 16 days, then racked to the carboy, per the instructions, for 2 months. So, no taste test yet, but I sure can't wait for the middle of February after a week or two of bottle conditioning!
