Belhaven Black Scottish Stout really is something completely different. Fresh roasted aroma and taste with a hint of coffee from the roasted barley used in the recipe. The addition of Chocolate malt adds a dark chocolate complexity. Simply hopped with Challenger to provide a clean low level bitterness. The dry hop character from challenger is kept to a minimum allowing the key roasted and chocolate flavours to come to the fore. Brewed using pure Scottish water and a unique blend of Scottish triple malts sourced from the finest locally grown barley.

Aromat ciemny słód kawa zbożowa, słonecznik Czarne brązowe piana beżowa przejrzyste. W smaku bardzo wytrawne goryczka wyraźna słodyczy zero Nagazowanie średnie, gładkie, ciało średnie, finisz kawy zbożowej. Stout bardzo dobry, ale dla mnie za bardzo wytrawny.

Black pour, with ruby hues, and a small white head. Sweet malty aroma, nice roasted malts, sweet caramels, and some nice cereals. Lively carb, some body. A nice sweet roasty amlt finish, with a medium bitterness, and some subtle piney hops.

Bottiglia. Un territorio olfattivo dominato da liquirizia e caffè. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è rotondo. Il dolce è medio in equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva.Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Il tetto della bocca porta note di caramello, miele, cioccolato, liquirizia, pane cotto di recente e agrumi.

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com. My first Belhaven beer surprisingly. Pours near black with small beige head. Roasted dark malt aroma, some licorice and sweet caramel. Not complex taste wise - dark malts and caramel to start, powdery chocolate comes in with light licorice leading to a semi-dry finish. Light bodied, easy drinking, good session quality. Decent.

Poured from 440mL nitro can (bb 25 Apr 2025). Very dark brown with creamy nitro light beige head. Oaty, mild cocoa, light toasted malt, thin creamy texture. Flavour is okay, but it's a bit thin.

Ah apparently a nitro stout. The widget didn't cause much head though: about 2mm. Apart from that a nice smooth stout: not as flavoursome as Guinness. Not a very strong nose: hints of liquorice, dark malts, very vague chocolate. Not much present in the mouth. Swishing it in mouth brings malt out, but hops remain elusive. Drinkable but too ineffectual.
