90 Shilling (export) ale
Belhaven Brewery, Scotland
Founded 1719

From Belhaven’s 300 years of brewing expertise, you can taste the refined quality in this smooth drinking ale. It pours a very clear dark copper color with a creamy head and impressive lacing. The flavor is malty and mildly hopped to balance the caramel sweetness. Subtle nutty, earthy hints enhance the complexity, while yeasts impart a smoky finish.

Belhaven Scottish Ale is a very rich and satisfying ale and at 5.2% ABV you can enjoy more than one. If you hear the bagpipes playing while you drink, don’t mind, it’s all part of the Belhaven experience.

I give this beer a five kilt rating.

    Sounds like this ale is right up my kilt! Will be tasting several soon.

    Belhaven has brewed this beer longer than any of their other beers. I can imagine it’s a model for many of today’s craft brew recipes.
