Jul 10, 2008 Bottle - Had this awhile back in Virginia and just recently at the Dev 4th tasting. Nice amber reddish brown pour with some off white head and good lacing. The malted grains and full body English Ale flavor are what I like about this. Light hops, roasted barley with a subtle sweetness, good drinker.

Jul 7, 2008 Bottle. Here is one I thought got lost in the shuffle at our last tasting. Mostly brown color but a hint of red in there too. Nice off white head. Aroma of English malts (YUMMY) and a light hop aroma. Tasted like candy from a bottle. Very sweet and Caramel like. I noticed dark fruits in the taste. Belhaven makes some great brew. CHEERS!

Jul 7, 2008 On tap at the Piper’s Pub, nice place. Looks like rootbeer. Creamy thin head that does not fade. Has an olfactory prelude that indicates it’s a strong beer. The first taste is also quite strong in alky flavors. Taste is somewhat like whiskey has been added to this brew. Surprisingly tho, the aparent strength of this stuff seem to fade as the session moves on. Does not leave a terribly bitter alky linger on the end. Just a little too strong for this session beer lover.
