About

Belhaven Wee Heavy is a traditional Scottish ale brewed in Dunbar, true to the historic shilling classification. At 7.4% ABV, this beer is built on a full, malty foundation driven by grain rather than hop character. The nose reveals bready and floral notes with hints of caramel. On the palate, malt dominates, bringing layers of dark fruit, toffee and molasses, supported by restrained hop bitterness. The warming alcohol is well-balanced and never feels boozy or harsh. This is a beer for contemplative sipping—perfect on cold evenings or alongside hearty fare. The silky-smooth texture and substantial body make it a classic expression of Scottish ale tradition.
