What is "heavy"?

Heavy, also known as Scottish heavy, is a type of beer that originated in Scotland and is known for its rich, malty flavor and full-bodied texture. It is brewed using a combination of malted barley, hops, and yeast, and is typically aged for an extended period of time to enhance its flavors and smoothness. Heavy beer has a deep amber to brown color, with a sweet, caramel-like taste and a slightly bitter finish. It is often associated with Scottish pub culture, and is traditionally served in pint glasses or tankards. Heavy beer is a popular choice among beer enthusiasts for its complex flavors and hearty character, and is often enjoyed alongside traditional Scottish dishes such as haggis, neeps, and tatties.
