Belhaven McCallums Stout (Bottle)

Brewed by Belhaven (Greene King)
Style: Stout
Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland

red brown colour with thin bubbly head, thin for a stout, rich malty fruity front leading to a mellow chocolate malt.

Bottle 0.33 L. Brown body with an average, frothy, light-brown head, mostly diminishing with a good lacing. Moderate malty aroma (toasted, caramel, dark chocolate) with notes of raisin. Moderate-to-heavy sweet flavour with light acidic and bitter notes; maybe bitter note becomes a bit higher in the finish, but the main character is still sweet. Medium body with a watery texture; flat carbonation. Strage beer: quite sweet for a stout. Anyway it’s satisfactory.

Dark brown colour, small head. Aroma has roasted malts and raisins. A bit too watery and thin body.

Bottle (33 cl.). A warm dark red colour with a beautiful brown froth. Not a very strong stout, either in taste nor in alcohol.

Bottle. Deep brown colour with a mostly diminishing medium light brown head. Rather sweet aroma of caramel and chocolate with roasted malts. The flavour has sweet carmel, dark chocolate, good roasty maltiness, some raisins, some bitter coffe in the end. A good tasty stout with quite a lower alcohol that I am used to from stouts.

Bottled. A near black beer with some reddish reflections. The head is beige and not persistent. Sweet aroma and flavours, a roasted touch and some fruitiness. Light body. An average beer, but not much stouty.

Mahogany colored, medium-size off-white head. Roasted aroma, sweet. Flavor is sweet, too, of toates malts and with hints of berries.

Bottled(330ml). -Dark brown coloured, medium pale brown (like cappuccino) head, pleasant chocolate licorice nose. Aroma of roasted malt and black chocolate with slight caramel and fruity notes. Tasty and very nice despite lower alcohol content than usually.
