Belhaven Scottish Ale: Review


Belhaven Brewery
Dating back to 1719
Dunbar, Scotland
5.2% abv
Purchased: Superfine Wine & Liquor Store; Canton, Michigan
$15.99 a six pack

Appearance: semi-dirty penny with a one finger off-white head that leaves some chunky lacing behind

Aroma: very delicate yeast reminding me of a soft sweet biscuit with honey on it

Flavors: a musty and slightly tart pecan shell like taste, a light caramel note swirls around a grainy and mineral like character, earthy yeast


Mouthfeel: super fine carbonation that gives a little fizzy feel to the tongue, a dirty-grainy malt aftertaste

To the Point: This is okay to me, not something I would drink on any regular bases – okay once every two years would do it for me.
