Belhaven Scottish AleFound: Beer of the Month Club
Price: n/a
Website: http://www.belhaven.co.uk/
What the Company Says: Their website is so much of a pain in the ass to navigate I couldn’t find a description

The Intro:This beer is one of the Beer of the Month beers from the month of Feburary.  Yes I know I’m late!  So many beers to drink!

The Look: Pours a nice dark copper color with a nice fluffy head.  The head laces the glass as you drink away. 

What the Nose Thought: A sweet malty smell up front followed by a earthy smell. 

And the Tastebuds?:Malty taste followed by some dark fruit flavors.  Earthy taste.  Piney.  A little smokey.  Really not much going on with the taste.  Everything seems muted.

The Feel: Crisp.  Goes down very easy. 

Would You Drink More?: No.  I don’t know if this is just due to the type of beer or this brew directly but it really didn’t do much for me at all.  Not great but not horrible. 

Ending Notes: This is the issue with the Beer of the Month club.  It’s either hit or miss.  But heck this is why I review them!
