belhaven scottish ale

one of the guys from my linguistics department turned me on to this.

imagine guinness about 1/2 as dark, but just as creamy, with that same layering of taste and texture as the nectar pour into a glass. that same waiting of 3-5 minutes before its settled enough to taste, each second the lips smacking awaiting the honey-colored joy.

imagine not so bitter, twice as sweet. what a lot of schmaltzy beer schnobs would call a malty smell. the taste of fuits and nuts that fades relatively fast, so you gotta drink up!

in summary - to me it's like guinness without all the hype and sweeter than stout.

score: 5/5! perfect!
price: ~$7 for 4 14.5 oz draught cans
