Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg)

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

Pours amber a little head and some lacing. A nuttty brown taste. A very nice beer.

Pours dark amber with a small creamy head that calls your mouth to it. Aroma of light malt. Taste is malty, slight nut, & mainly a malty tasting beer. The tap version is a lot more creamy than the bottle.

On tap at Austin Saucer on July 11, 2009. Impressive silky white head... almost unreal. Reddish-brown color. Crazy thick lacing. A nicely malty brew with a bitter flavor and a hint of moss. Delectable!

Bottle. Brownish amber pour. Malt, nuts, light bitterness, citrus, and some earthiness. Another marginal beer from this brewery.

Bottled. Brown with small head. Aroma of roasts. Flavor is malt, dryness and ripe fruit notes.

Pours a deep amber with a large, fluffy head that recedes slowly. Aroma is of molasses, maple, a little nutty. Flavor is of chestnuts, a little brown sugar, and lemon. Cardboard too. Mouthfeel is full, with nice carbonation throughout. Overall, good minus.

12 oz. bottle (2009) in a shaker; pretty straightforward bitter. Pours a nutty brown/amber w/ nutty and malty aromas; flavor is standard for an English bitter (sorry if that is unhelpful); lacks too much sophistication, but would make for a great session brew; wait for this one to warm up a bit.

slick feel, lively carbonation, earthy smell and taste, tan head, sparkling brown ale. Good taste. Not too complex. No lingering after taste. Not great but better than average.
