Another fine beer from Belhaven. A nice nose of toffee, light caramel, with a bit of nuttiness to it. Appearance is a dark brown, cloudy with a nice 1/2" thick head. Flavor is smokey/peaty malts, sweet malts with a touch of brown sugar. Easy to drink and easy to enjoy.

Nitro-tap, served in an English pint glass. This beer poured a clear copper with a one-finger thick head of dense, creamy, off-white foam. Excellent retention and lacing. The aroma included sweet toffee and fruity esters. Mild herbal hops. The flavor was lightly fruity with a decent malty, caramel backbone. Mild bitterness. The mouthfeel was light to medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth and creamy. A decent session beer.

Pours orange-brown with a little white head. Nose is a little subdued with sweet caramel and apple. Taswte is very clearly caramel and toffee, but I do taste a little apple in there. Carbonation is light. A very sweet beer, lacking in hops.

Copper with nice white head. Sweet malt aroma and caramel sweet flavor. Light on the hops. Low carbonation gave this a creamy palate. On tap at Peculier Pub, NYC.

Copper clear pour, nice head, nice lace. Beery metallic aroma. Again flat, very sweet, sugary toffee caramel flavor. Thin, smooth mouthfeel, with a strange fruity aftertaste that rises up the nose.

~Pours a murky reddish brown with fluffy off white head. ~Sweet malts and citrusy scent. Floral as well. Smells tart. ~Sweet citrusy taste, somewhat tart in flavor as well. ~Medium feel, citrusy bitter finish. ~Good brew, but I prefer Scotch ale to be a bit smokier and woodsy.

Nice creamy head! Sweet smell, it tasted really good going down. I really didn’t expect it from a beer with 3.9% ABV. VERY GOOD!
