AleSmith Brewing Company: Scotland's bone-chilling winters command a strong, richly-flavored brew. J.P. Gray's Wee Heavy is such an ale. Named for Brew Master 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. Warmth is provided by a substantial 8.5% alcohol by volume. The high alcohol and fresh ingredients allow this ale to age well over time.

Inspired by the classic beer styles of Britain and Belgium, AleSmith's bottle-conditioned ales are brewed to improve with age, much like fine wines. One will be amazed by the flavors as they mellow and improve with age!
