Belhaven Wee Heavy / 90 Shilling (Bottle)

Brewed by Belhaven (Greene King)
Style: English Strong Ale
Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland

I would call this a Premium bitter. It has all the attributes. Amber brown colour. Caramel toffee aroma and taste. Very, very good. I hope to see if here more often than seasonally.

Very good, quite different from the Belhaven St. Andrews Ale. I waver between which one of those two I prefer from this brewery. Both are good, drinkable beers. Not all beers need to be life-changing!

500ml bottle. Pours a deep brown with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma was malty with hints of whisky. Taste was caramel and a bit fruity. Slightly hoppy finish. Decent beer, but I thought it would have been better after receiving such high ratings.

Draught, dark amber color. caramel cherry aroma. Heavy caramelization. Chocolate, malty, candy-like flavors. malty, malty. Good.

500ml bottle. English pint. Deep amber with a small head. Aroma was malt and dark fruit. Flavor was sweet malt and caramel with a smokey finish.

Bottled. THIS is a fantastic beer. Dark brown with a thick head, beige to its colour. The aroma of toffee, sirup and chocolate, with a malty toastyness is great. The taste continues on the same theme. A phenomenal beer.

500ml. Clear and dark brown-copper, with a medium and lasting head. Aroma is earthy, slightly astringent, spiced molasses. Flavor is deliciously the same with a touch of peppery caramel and chocolate. Barely noticeable smoke, gunmetal and alcohol in the dry aftertaste. Medium-bodied and rounded palate with some slight tingle on the dryish finish. Just a slight wateriness at the end that keeps it from being too thick; makes me want to keep chuggin’ this one. Excellent brew.

Nice ruby/mahogany color. Malt and cider in the aroma. Syrupy body, with big maltiness and not much else in the flavor. Hops are noticeable on the finish. Pretty, but a bit too sweet for me.
