Please do not mistake my thinking the label is corny as my entire review on the beer or as the basis of my likings. As you can see I very much did like it. Plus part of the fun of blogging about beer is discussing it with others. Not everyone has the same tastes so while some will enjoy a particular beer others will not. Some of my fellow beer bloggers are not as big on IPAs or DIPAs than I am. I personally still find barley wines very difficult to drink while others love them. Just because a majority of people on BA like something doesn't mean you will. That is the fun in beer! :) Thanks for stopping by Art.

I think this is a great site, and I love your open-mindedness, Mike. And--I didn't even know what "wee heavy" style was before today. I just know this is a great beer. To me, this is the Scottish version of Chimay GR. SO easy to drink, and full of complexity, while being so strong...this one just has a tad more adventurousness in the character, than Chimay...my all time favorite. Now I have two all time favorites. (along with much from Dogfish Head brewery, of course!) Ooops, sorry to mention another website on beer…hope you still post my comment.

Check out Beer Advocate and your own taste buds. This is great stuff. You can never tell by a label or by ANYTHING if a beer will be good. Look at the cheesy label on Chimay Grande reserve. Taste Skullsplitter and decide. I found a treasure today, in this beer. Fact is, this is an amazing beer! Check out Beer Advocate and your own taste buds. This is great stuff.
