| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Fine beer for drinking while watching soccer. Pours orange brown with a thick cream head. Caramel and dough aromas. Much the same taste with a bit of spicy hop in the finish. rphills123 (7), Ohio, USA does not count | 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 12, 2009 I have to say it tastes different here. When I got this in Edinburgh it was much different. Makes me torn because it sucks in the states compared to there. I’ll rate this one in the states though...still a good copper color and decent off white head. smells of good malt, nuts and a little caramel. Smooth and a little fruit taste at the end. Not anything more than ok here but amazing in Edinburgh Aquilo (279), California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 11, 2009 Pours dark red-brown with a frothy head. The color is nice if you hold it up to the light, but otherwise, it just looks dirty brown. Very pleasant aroma of apples, pears, and spice. Kind of a winey nose as well, I am alternately reminded of mulled wine, and spiced cider. The flavor disappoints a little bit. There’s just not much going on there. Just some musty malt bitterness. A little hoppy in the finish. Fizzy mouthfeel. It’s allright. Finhead (96), Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 7, 2009 A clear copper pour with a big creamy head. It has a malty aroma with hints of caramel. The taste starts smooth with toffee notes followed by a slightly burnt toast flavor and a dry finish. lithy (1800), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Rum raisin nose with floral and lemon notes. Orangey copper color with a smallish soapy head. Deep sweetness balanced by a mild lemon pith bitterness. Medium carbonation, medium body, silky mouth feel, finish is long with big dark fruit notes. Very tasty and unique flavors. Makes me think of a Belgian Dubbel using a Scottish ale yeast.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 15, 2009 22nd June 2008. My bottle clearly labelled as Belhaven 80/. All sorts of falvours claimed on the bottle but really just a watery malt beer with a modest hop background. A few subtle fruity notes but nothing like what is claimed!
