Lots of biscuity malt character from the best quality Scottish malted barley. Crystal malt add toffee and caramel taste and black malt contributes a crisp astringent balance. Challenger and Goldings hops add a fresh herbal and resin hop note as well as a refreshing bitter linger to balance with the sweet malt character.

[as Belhaven Scottish Ale / Export (Bottle & Keg), ABV 5.2%] Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dall'orzo tostato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, pane tostato e agrumi.

Amber pour. Thick foam. Even lace. Nutty malt with sweet smoky malt combined makes this beer amazing. Easy carbonation.

275ml bottle, Best Before 1995 (!) @ the beer tasting at the end of the world, Chez Sophie, Marc '20. Thanks Jeremy for this. Perhaps a little unfair rating so I've given a kind mark. Rated for my records only. Oily leathery barley wine, not undrinkable, not too dusty. A taste of history.

Tap. Amber color, good creamy head. Fruity flavor, just a bit sweet. Apple and a bit salty. Otherwise rather bland and fizzy. Fairly thin.

Draught - Nitro @ Albion. Dark amber with large creamy off-white head, malt aroma, high carbonation, sweetish malt taste, a bit fruity, toffee, thin body, abrupt finish. Not an interesting brew.
