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.

440ml can into pint glass. Equipped with a widget so this dark brown beer has a lush creamy head. Nose is milk chocolate. Nice lacing. Medium body, flat mouthfeel. Finish is sweet milk coffee with some dry fruitcake right at the end. Perfectly drinkable stout. Not complex but tasty.

Nitro can. Darkish brown with a beige nitro head. Aroma of mild roast, coffee, some cream. Light bodied. Taste of unsweetened iced coffee, light spices, prunes. Dry with modest bitterness and roasted malt. Not a bad quaffer at all - and I think the nitro suits it.

Black beer, thin beige head. Dry, malty chocolate aroma. Taste is the same, with a real dry, toasty feel to it and a bit of sweet chocolate in the finish. Could go being a bit richer but it's nice.

Black stout. Burnt malt aroma. Taste is similar but with a fruity undertone. Quite drinkable.

0.44 l can from 'Rudat', best before September 2018. Clear, very dark brownish red to black with a medium large, creamy, absolutely stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of milk chocolate, coffee and some licorice. Moderately sweet, malty, quite roasty taste of dark chocolate, coffee, some licorice and a touch of hazelnut, followed by a short, moderately bitter, roasty and slightly earthy-dry finish. Medium body, very smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Easily drinkable, not too deep but not watery, looks perfect of course!
