Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg)

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

Light chocolaty smell. Reddish brown with creamy head. Kinda milky looking as the head settles. Though I can taste a metallic twang, that’s because it was canned beer. Milky sweetness with a slight bitter background. Texture like slightly carbonated milk. Great scottish product.

i was very impressed when i tried this beer. it was very creamy and smooth. it’s a very tasty beer.

a brown copper with a medium sandy head. caramel aroma with a slight acidity to the nose. thick smooth body with soft bubbles good caramel sweetness with a background of nutty biscuits with a slight bitter smokiness. very balanced and satisfying, full but not too heavy

Deep copper colored with a large, off-white head. It had a strong malt flavor, was creamy smooth and very well balanced. To me, it was hoppier and not as sweet as a classic Scotch. It was full-bodied and mouth filling. The creamy head lasted through the final swallow.

Thick milky white head, red color, elaborate later because internet is all funky white head, red color,

Drink at North Shield pub in Istanbul fro bottle. Brown colour with top stay good. Smokky scent on first follows with malty taste. Doesn’t stay so much on mouth but ver nice beer. Thanx to Teoman Hünal bringing this beauty to Turkiye.

8/22/07 from the bottle. Aroma is malty/sour forward with light caramel, light roast and a light peaty smoke tone. Appearance is hazy medium copper with a good off-white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with a medium bitter finish. Flavor is slightly sour and grainy. It sounds strange, but the flavor is crisp and clean despite having resiny hop tones. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a dry finish and a medium/low carb texture. Overall, a clean, good session beer, but the lack of craminess makes is far less appealing in many areas than the nitro can version, gave this one a slightly lower 3.8 6/20/07 From a pub draught can. Aroma is light caramel forward, light bubblegum candiness and some nutty notes. Beer is a clear copper with a persistent white head. Flavor is sweet caramel followed by some slightly sour malt. There is a light fruitiness, very low bittering and some hop flavor. Very rich. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with no finish; very creamy. Overall, a very good beer; maybe a little too rich to have more than one.

On tap at the Oasis. Always reasonably priced in bottles at Woodman’s. Nice caramel and smokey malts. Oasis had it with nitro. Good sweetness and hop bitterness
