Pours brown with limited head. Sweet taste with limited hops. Creamy and it went down smooth.

Pours a reddish-brown with sugar-laced maltiness. A very smooth brew, this one is a favorite to drink. Could be a bit sweet with limited hops for some, but for malt-lovers it’s a must drink.

Draught at the Beer Bistro. Dark reddish brown with a creamy light tan head. Dry roast malt flavor, incredibely smooth and creamy. Woody, somewhat sweet smell with notes of port.

500ml. bottle. Pours a brownish red hue with honey, caramel malt, dried apple fruit, and a touch of ginger on the nose. The palate is very creamy, and spreads out evenly . The flavor has rich, sweet malt, with a -I know, it’s weird- twizzler like fruitiness before a miniscule amount of hops arrive in the finish. My favorite Belhaven.

500 ml. bottle. Poured a ruddy brown with a froth almond colored head. Aromas of toffee, cake and "raisin bran," with maybe a touch of chocolate. Syrupy malt flavor, like grain drenched in molasses. Some grassy notes, but otherwise not a whole lot of hops to cut through the cloyingly sweet flavor. Rich mouthfeel. Overall a sweet "malt bomb" which I’m generally not a fan of.

Bottle, Very deep ruby colour, Aroma of fine sweet malts, very rich palate, whihch is a little overpowered by the crystlal malt profile in the finish, overall very enjoyable.
