Colour is nut brown with medium-sized cream white head. Aroma has sweet apple, cinnamon spice and syrupy malts. Taste begins with gently hoppy sweet bite. Sugared oven-baked apples and sour fruits take over with some malt and cinnamon flavours. Yeasty and dry bitterness grows towards the end with sour sidetaste. Aftertaste has cider-like sour apple and dry bitterness.
Nicely spicy and fruity Scotch Ale. Sweet, sour, bitter and dry. Hops and malts are used like tools of art to brew this masterpiece. There's no doubt for me about the #1 brewery in the capital.

As Wee Heavy is rising in the list of my favourite beer styles, it's great to taste mastery of this style in a Finnish brew. For that reason I pick one of my Finnish favourite artists who are trying to catch the mood of Highland fields as the song.
