Scotland's bone-chilling winters command a strong, richly-flavored brew. J.P. Gray's Wee Heavy Scotch Ale is such an ale. Named for Brewmaster Skip Virgilio's maternal grandfather, J.P. Gray's is a blend of the prized Maris Otter barley and dark roasted barley which imparts a slightly smoky flavor and a deep chestnut appearance. In the style of a classic Scottish wee heavy, this fine ale is remarkably smooth and malty with background flavors of chocolate and molasses. The high alcohol and fresh ingredients allow this ale to age well over time. J.P. Gray's Wee Heavy Scotch Ale has a Deep mahogany color, sparkling clarity, and excellent head formation and retention when properly served. Deep caramelly malty flavor with just a hint of smoke in the finish. The aroma is sweet and voluptuous, reflecting the flavor with malt, hop and yeast characteristics. J.P. Gray's Wee Heavy Scotch Ale is lush, full, rounded, almost chewy.
