Yikes! I’ve been lax on my reviews lately. Truth is, I haven’t really had that much beer lately. Or at least any I feel like writing about. I was reorganizing my cellar when I found this one hiding in the back. Having eluded my attention for a year now, I felt it was time to crack it open. This is not the first time that I have had this beer, but I am used to it fresh and on draught, so let’s see what a little maturity does to it.
Appearance: Real Heavy pours a deep amber brown with good clarity for something so malt-dense. The head was thin, tan, and did not stick around for long. This doesn’t really relate to appearance of the beer itself, but I always relish a chance to pull out a thistle glass for a beer of Scottish origin/inspiration.
Aroma: All the scents of rich crystal malts rise up to give one this beer’s first impression: lots of toffee and molasses at the front There was a kind of savory smokiness to it, which was an enjoyable counterweight to the malty sweetness on the nose. Plenty of dried dark fruit esters followed through, along with a heady alcohol note. As one might expect, there were no outward hop aromas.
Flavor: Smoked meat and malt syrup dominated every sip. Prune and raisin came out at the end, along with fresh baked bread and a subtle hop bitterness that didn’t quite balance the sweetness but at least kept it from being cloying.
Mouthfeel: Real Heavy was very smooth and rich, filling the mouth with robust malt. Carbonation was low, as is style-appropriate, but there was just enough to provide a glancing bite before each swallow. Rounded malt richness was definitely the tactile focus here.
At The End: As with most beers of this nature, it gained more syrupy qualities with warmth. As the carbonation died out, it became thick and left a slick layer on the tonuge after each sip. The smoky quality and even the dark fruitiness eventually were drowned out by the toffee and molasses that made Real Heavy more of a dessert topping than a libation. The alcohol also began to provide a low warmth in the mouth, which I thought improved the drinkability. I enjoyed the flavor variety of this Wee Heavy at the start, but I have difficulty getting behind beers that become singularly sweet over time. I’ll stick to 10 oz tap pours of this one from now on.
My heart is feeling heavy tonight.
