Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg)

Pours a clear amber with an off white head that leaves a ton of lacing on the sides. Smells doughy with sweetness, maybe a little honey. Tastes similar, some toffee and nuts. Not overly exciting but this is definitely one you could pound all night, very light bodied but enough flavor to keep you from getting too bored. pretty good for low ABV and being so light bodied.

500 ml bottle purcahsed at Spirits RB. Pours a crystal clear reddish/burnt orange with a frothy off white head. Body is rather flat looking despite the fantastic head. Not so great aroma of a ctirus/dough/nutt mix with some odd sweetness swirling around it all. Flavor is suprisingly better then the aroma with light nuttiness and a bready taste as well. Palate is lilght bodied with a slight bitter finish. Sessionable beer.

Bottle. [thank you, Bigbro]
Pours a pretty brownish amber with a small white film head. Aroma is malty caramel. Flavour is weak caramel, rye bread and a weak peppery bitterness. A little thin and boring.

I had this one in Edinburgh 2005 on tap, and also tried it in the bottle in Switzerland, 2007, always enjoyable. Pours an amber colour with white, well-retaining head. Has nice big malty taste, some caramel sweetness notes with light body. Easy drinking pint.

dark amber , beige head nose is very malty some caremel flavor follows suit some hop bitterness after ok beer not my fav but decent

From the bottle, this is a dark copper with a thick, dense, long-lasting light tan head, very good, long-lasting lacing. It smells of toasty, yeasty bread with a fruity sweetness, caramel, pine and earth. It tastes moderately fuill-bodied, sweetish with a light, juicy and piney bitterness. It has a toasted malty flavour and body, caramel, bread, juice, prunes. There is a very evident, but well-balanced and not overpowering crisp, hoppy bitterness up front that fades nicely into a malty finish. It’s wonderful, being incredibly drinkable and smooth yet very full of flavour.

Nitro Can. Aroma of English malts with a little smoke and a subltle bitterness. Pours amberish. Flavor is similar to aroma. Malty with touches of smokeyness and a delicate bitter finish. Smooth and easy drinking. Enjoyable.
