Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg)

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

fine beer I did not see that big of a head on this. The bitters typical of an Ale are pronounced yet suttle. Good marks for a good beer. I had this as BOM club nad bought it again.

Another fine beer from Belhaven. A nice nose of toffee, light caramel, with a bit of nuttiness to it. Appearance is a dark brown, cloudy with a nice 1/2" thick head. Flavor is smokey/peaty malts, sweet malts with a touch of brown sugar. Easy to drink and easy to enjoy. Always a nice go-to beer.

Draught can version. Has a rich buttery, fruity nose with a nice level of peat malt aroma. Thick foamy head courtesy of the nitro and some sediment, not sure if this is normal or not. Caramel and some toffee in the mouth, a very pleasant beer to drink.

Nose of honey, malt and tobacco. Pours an orange amber coloured beer. Taste is malty, some hops but buttery and watery also. Moderate sweet finish. ok.

March 12, 2008; 440ml nitrous can. Pours like a cover for a draught beer magazine -- lovely dark amber with a thick, dreamy, billowy cloud-like head. Vaguely dairy-product aroma, with a slightly-subdued, but quite pleasant, butterscotch-malt, milky flavor. Nothing to stun the palate, but a wonderful session ale, shamefully underrated here (probably because of its remarkably-low 3.9% ABV). Highly recommended for anyone wishing to avoid an immediate "buzz", or coming down from one. ;-)

0,33 l bottle. Nice creamy and foamy head, delisicious appearance with a reddish color. Fruity and roasted aroma. Good carbonation in the flavour with a fine caramell/roasted taste. Complex body, good roasted aftertaste. I enthuse over this brewery and the exciting brittish/scottish ales:) You can buy it in the Caledoni pub too.(Budapest, Hungary)

Nitro-canned (first time I’ve seen them in cans). Super-creamy head, gorgeous and rocky, off-white. Deep, dark golden body. Faint aroma has a swirl of fruity malt but not much. Taste is likewise faint but stronger than the Boddington’s I just had, smooth and darkly malty with just a touch of fruit, but no real bitterness. Good amount of caramel with a deft rounding of toffee. Smooth light body approached medium, extremely quaffable. One of the better bitters I’ve had (which really isn’t saying much), and a dream at under 4%.

Out of bottle.....Poured dark amber with off white rocky head that stood above the glass,,,,,,Aroma is some what malty with nice fruity notes and hops, faint spice...Flavor has some nice maltiness, light sweetness with some fruity esters, light toffee, some what Earthy, very lite bitterness....Medium body, medium-high carbonation...Overall, nicely balanced beer, tasty, but nothing all that impressive.....Kinda weak.
