Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg)

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 was malty with nice fruity notes and hops...Flavor was rich and malty with a nice balancing bitterness at the end....Medium body...Excellent lacing on the glass..very good beer!

Copper beer with white head. Has a malty sweet aroma and tastes of caramel, bread, nuts. Has a smooth mouthfeel with a touch of diacetyl to round things out.
