Brewers since 1719, Belhaven offers subtly charming ales, but this one’s somewhat bland for frothy mocha-scented Scottish-styled Ale. Moderately bitter hop herbage grazes pithy roasted malts and peaty dewiness. But polite earthen grain finish diminishes quickly, smoked nuttiness fades and ripe berry nuances scatter.

Smooth buttery caramel malt sweetness and dry powdered chocolate variance inform fine light-to-medium-bodied Scottish ale.

Poured into the glass, this 6.5% alcohol-fueled Wee Heavy maintains a fuzzy head and creamy body. Peculiar mocha-grained brown-sugared raisin murk thickened by buttery caramel malt residue before bourbon-port finish flutters away.

Musty medium-bodied amber-toned Scottie barely overcomes nebulous nature. Fizzy chocolate malt graze, scattered floral-fruited spicing and resinous hop plod lead to uninterestingly slim peat-grained finish, becoming sulfuric. Brewer’s best selling flagship beer is strictly for lunkheads.
