Belhaven Scottish Stout (Keg)

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

So dark that I can’t see through it. Creamy head that never goes away. Stout smell, cocoa and roasted nuts. Creamy and smooth mouthfeel; a coating beer. Roasted caramel flavor, with a nice finish. No lingering bitterness. Quite good. Quite.

On tap at the Gingerman Fort Worth. Thick, creamy, black, roasted with chocolate notes. Beautiful. Delicious.

This beer is fantastic. When poured you have to wait about a minute for the head to form up. Watching the beer form up is a real treat. Poetry in motion. Very creamy khaki colored head that stays with the beer until the last drink. The texture of this beer is the real treat. Silky, caressing feel on the palate with a feel feel like true love. Strong coffee and roasted malt on the forground of this beer. Finishes clean and dry with a slight bitterness. I love this beer.

Belhaven: superior stout. Guinness:superior marketing. This is fantastic, will a truly developed palate. I’m honestly surprised it’s not rating higher.

Dark pour with thick, dense, 1 inch foam head. Good, strong milky thick malt aroma with clear and present hops. Mouthfeek is like 2%. Laces like a blanket. Flavor is full and rich with malt, dry hoppiness, and an oak taste. A little less filling than the most popular stout. Only slight alcohol presence. A very tasty beverage.

On draught at The Pub. Pours brownish-black with a compact light brown head tha diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Roasted coffee and malt in the nose. Medium, smooth body with coffee and malt flavors underscored by mild hops. The finish is creamy coffee and malt. Above average all around.

(Nitro) Pours a cascading opaque black body with a thick creamy beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, roasted malt, and caramel. Flavor of peat, roasted malt, nuts, raisins, and prunes with a creamy mouthfeel.

Pours a dark black brown color with reddish highlights and a creamy tan head. Notes of raisins, dark fruits, caramelized brown sugar. Just very sweet and dark. Nose sucks and you get a bit of graham and sweetness but the taste is pretty solid.
