Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg)

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

Draught at Old Brick’s Inn, Jyväskylä. Dark amber color with small head. Malty, caramelly and toffeish aroma. Malty, caramelly and slightly vinous flavor with subtle coffeish roastiness in the background.

(Scotland) Orange/Brown color with Med-Tan Head. Has a Fruity Malt taste, Sweet Carmel Aroma Good Beer.

Bottle (in NZ), pours an "ox-blood" colour with a foamy tan head. A strong oaky aroma emanated when I poured, but from the glass it seemed to be a much more subtle nutty malt. A strong caramalised malt flavour, with notes of smokey whiskey and an increased hop bitterness in the finish. A well balanced bitter. Hard to believe it is only 3.9%!

I loved this one. Pours a brown/orange color. Nitrous guy there in the can. Nice head, not a lot of carbonation which I like. Nice nutty taste, a little but not over powering. This one is a winner as far as I am concerned.

Pours from the bottle with a beautiful orange-brown color, but a very thin head. Has a faint aroma of butterscotch. Taste is of smoky malt with a hint of carmely sweetness, but quite watery with little carbonation and hardly any flavor lingering on the palate. Overall, a disappointment.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin but long-lasting off-white head. Light aroma of malt. Really not all that flavorful either with some caramel malt along with some moderate hops bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied. A decent beer.

Not much aroma, a little oil, gum, caramel, and burnt wood. It’s a dark, dark amber ale with a small, very thick foam head. It tastes lke peat, hickory, and whisky and has a very thick consistency. Good lacing n the glass. A heavy full flavored beer, with lite alcohol content. Quit a feat.

bottle. aroma is kind of small for as strong as the beer tastes. smells nutty and malty with a hint of fruit. color is kind of odd. it’s a gold/orange with a small off white head. ok carbonation and fair lacing. very malty taste and very creamy. hint of roasted nuts and a hint of orange. love the palate on this. goes in fruity and nutty and finishes with a creamy malt flavor. would give this a 4 or more if the aroma was stronger but the prize is in the taste on this one!
