Belhaven McCallums Stout (Bottle)

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty caramel aroma. Roasted malty slightly smoky caramel flavor with hins of chocolate. Has a roasted malty caramel finish.

355ml dark brown bottle, label as pictured. Pours a dark, nutty, clear brown with a small, creamy beige head with good retention and plenty of lacing. Intense aroma of sweet, dark chocolate and roasted malt. Medium carbonation and body, fairly thick mouth feel. Initially sweet flavour of chocolate and vanilla, but soon enough the bitter side comes to the fore and the taste turns coffee-ish, still with a clear chocolaty note. Dry, bitter finish but chocolaty after taste. Interesting mix iof flavours - but this is closer in style to a porter, I think. But, as with all of the Bellhaven brews, there*s not much to criticize. Well-balanced, creamy and refreshing at the same time (due to healthy carbonation), rather complex. Good, but definitely not too sessionable.

Bottle. A sweet aroma of malt, chocolate and some syrup. The creamy light brown head is medium large with a normal duration, the body is dark red. The taste is rather sweet for a stout, tasted of chocolate with malt candy. The body is medium strong, creamy-silky with a soft carbonation. A nice sweet stout from Scotland.

33c bottle@ Molly Malones, Helsinki. Pours dark color, with very thin head. sweet fruity aroma, caramel flavour, nice stout, but a little too sweet to my taste

Colore marrone sucro con una densa e spessa schiuma color crema.Aroma di tostato con rifleesi fruttati.In bocca risulta altrettanto tostata ma anche lievemente dolciastra o caramellata.Diciamo buona anche se ultimamente ho provato stout stratosferiche!

Thick & dense cream-coloured head over dark brown beer with a ruby sheen. Fruity nose, slightly roasted, avec some sourish lactic notes. Much more roasted notes it the taste, but again quite fruity and very discreet sweetness; and in the finish again the lactic touch, giving it a bit Oud Bruin dimension. Retronasal some nutty touches. Medium bodied, thick & creamy for its low ABV. Nice, absolutely.

Bottle: Deep ruby amber coloured, smaller beige persistent head; slightly sweetish roast-malty nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied; sweet caramelly and roast-malty -creating a little bitterness - finish. good, but a bit too sweet..........

Caramelic aroma. Average, frothy, light brown head. Fair lacing. Mostly lasting longevity. Clear, amber body. Moderate sweet and caramelic flavor. Medium palate.
