Beer Review: Big Sky Heavy Horse Scotch Ale
According to Rich Chapin Scottish Ale is lighter compared to Scotch Ale, Heavy Horse is billed as a Scotch Ale. The real heavy stuff is called Wee Heavy. At 6.7% ABV this is somewhere between Scotch and Wee Heavy in my opinion. It poured a medium brown with a generous head, the taste was evocative of caramel, with a "wee" bit of alcohol warmth. There was a bit of barleywine sweetness to it as well. I had mine with some roasted chicken, which seemed to be a good pairing. Not an everyday beer, but definitely a repeater.
