Again.

Wee Heavy

Surrender your taste buds to our Icelandic Wee Heavy. This Scotch ale is brewed with locally farmed and smoked barley and spiced with native Icelandic angelica. With sweet notes of caramel and a touch of smokiness, our Wee Heavy remains incredibly balanced, rich, and hearty. Your taste buds have no choice but to be conquered.

What is Angelica?

Angelica is considered a sacred plant used by Vikings in the past. It grows hearty, strong, and cold-resistant in Iceland. Legend has it that a 17th-century monk in England, when the country was riddled with plague, was visited by an angel who told him angelica would relieve people from suffering. When the Vikings began trade expeditions to Europe, they brought dried angelica as their currency.

What Others are Saying About Einstök Icelandic Wee Heavy

A review from Beer Advocate states, “With the smoked Icelandic barley and angelica, this Wee Heavy has taken more risks than your standard, off-the-shelf Scotch Ale. And it pays off in spades, deliciously.” Others were pleasantly pleased by the twist on a classic Scotch style and are looking forward to reaching for another.

Difford’s Guide gave the Wee Heavy four and a half out of five stars, stating it is “rich but balanced.” Of course, the best way to know if this Scotch Ale holds up is to try one for yourself.
