Belhaven Robert Burns (Bottle)

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

Bottled (thanks to the craziest...). Deep reddish brown colour, mediumsized foamy slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, some nuts, wood and also mild nectary notes along with mild roasted malts. Flavour is mildly roasted malts, some nuts, wood and also flowery hops along with some mild nectary notes. Refreshing bitter.

Toast and oatmeal nose. Pours deep but watery brown with a fluffy head. Flavour is ok, but if anything a little dull. A serviceable ale with little to distinguish it really.

2009-06-18. Crisp red brown body with a modest foamy tan head. (3+) Aroma is interesting, mild malt with a nuance that I am not fully grasping. Light toasty touches. Flavour is similarly mild, pleasant malt has very light fruity touches, muted toasty and dusty malt character. Average palate. Okay, bit plain. Bottle shared by DuctTape from his trip to Wales

Sample from bottle brought back to Calgary. Copper coloured. Minimal head. Not an overly pleasant taste. Almost like it was light struck despite dark bottle. May be a little old, was bought in a grocery store.
