Belhaven - Black Scottish Stout 4.2%


Taste: Omph. It's pillowy. Hard to describe... Like the crust of a seeded loaf mixed with sparkling spring water. Oily but watery.

Appearance: flat coke with sewage head. Clearly made for export judging by beer spelt in about 10 different languages on the label. I'll be surprised if its ever past a Scotsman's lips... A quick check on the belhaven brewery website proves me wrong. Are Belhaven what Brains are to Wales?

Would you buy 2? I'd try it on draft.

Would you buy 4? No thanks.

Rating (out of 7): 3*** not the best stout I've tried. But far off the worst.
