It has clearly struck a chord with some collectors (about 4) that contributions are gratefully received and we can continue the Scottish export label theme with these three (again) from Ballingall & Son of Dundee. I don’t think it will be quite so easy to try to distinguish between the three but we would love you to try.

Are you certain ‘Heavy’ means darker?

I`m reasonably sure , though it could be that the `Heavy` was a bottled version of their standard bitter beer .
I`d imagine that the Heavy was really a version of the Pale Export , with an admixture of Brewer`s Caramel for colour correction at the time the beer was processed , as this would have been a Filtred and Pasteurised product line .

I received a comment via our twitter feed from Ron Pattinson to confirm our thoughts that Heavy just means strong in Scottish brewing terminology.
