Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg)

500ml bottle as Export 80 Shilling Ale purchased at a Wine Rack store in St Andrews, Scotland. Pours an off-white head resting for a while on top of a golden brown body. Decent laceworks. Modest smell of plain malts. Assorted flavours of grain, malt and fruit, ending with a touch of bitter berries. Partial fizzy in the mouth [St Andrews 01.11.2008].

On tap at the Cock and Bull (formerly the Glendale Pub). Pours a nice dark brown with thick rich tan head. Aroma is bready, sweet, and yeasty, nice. The flavor is sweet up front, a bit meaty, smoky, with a bit of bitterness at the back of the tongue. Palate is nice and creamy. This is a good beer, probably a good introduction to better beer for people new to good beer.

500 mL. Pours a nice amber with a small beige head. Aroma of caramel malt, apple cider, and toffee. Taste is buttery with some candy and molasses. Creamy mouthfeel. Bitter, slightly hoppy aftertaste.

very floral aroma and nice caramel to light ruby color. fruity flavor with light hoppiness and a very nice mouthfeel. good benchmark for the style.

Draught 0.5L glass tasted at Brics Inn Jyväskylä. Pale beige head. Buttery and toffeish nose. Clear dark brown colour. Buttery tatse. Bitter hoppiness. Malty not very softh tatse. More than average carbonation. Slightly sour. Cramy long lasting head.

Dark reddish brown color with a tall slightly off-white head. Aroma of caramel, molasses, and malts. Sweet flavor of molasses and caramel with some bitter malts.

Draught can. Nice light amber color. White head with decent lacing. Sweet malt nose with hints of vanilla. Same with the flavor. Bit too smooth for me, could be due to the fact that it is from a can.

12oz bottle. Pours a a rich deep amber body with a two finger white head. Aroma of rich fruit with sweet caramel, nuts and bread. Tastes as it smells with a light hop finish. Smooth and well balanced.
