Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg)

Bottled. A dark browm coloured beer with a large off white head and lacing. The aroma is a bit cardboardy but there are also bready malty characteristics. The taste is very malty but there’s a very noticeable pasteurization flavour. I guess this is what 80/ ales are intended to be: high on malt but low on hops, although the pasteurization is a modern thing.

Poured from a draught can with a widget. A caramel-copper brown that seemed to be a lighter color at the bottom of the glass. I really liked the look of it. Foamy top that remained in place from start to finish. Mild aroma. Milky in the mouth and swallowed easy. Very tasty.

Bottle: A little disappointing, seemed a little too crisp and clean for an ale. Did have a nice malty flavor but lacked the full hoppy finish. The head on the beer was nice

Pours a brown color with a thin white head. Smell is a light nutty and malty aroma. Taste is very nice it too is nutty but more powerfully so than the aroma leaving a roasted flavor all in the mouth. Hints of wood and earth all over this beer. Very nice and enjoyable.

poured from a 12oz bottle. dark copper with a good little head on it. it was more than decent but i only had the one because I was tasting lots of stuff.

Nitro can. Tastes a little like fuller esb. The head is way to creamy almost to the point of being gross. Copper body and a bitter taste. Not bad goes down easy.

A very light, malty aroma. Thick taste with a very slight smokey flavor. Beautiful dark amber appearance. The head does dissipate extremely quickly.

Dark brown with a huge head, that is quickly disappearing. The aroma is slightly malty. The flavour is a bit sour, malty with notes of fruit, citrus and smoke. The finish is dry. A boring beer, but easy to drink.
