scottish stout

Rugged cliffs, verdant meadows, deep forests, and rugged charm – Scotland's landscape is captivating. Its rugged coastlines, mystical moors, and majestic mountains attract countless visitors year after year and exude an unparalleled fascination. Scottish cuisine is equally unique: hearty classics like haggis, smoked fish, and lamb stew reflect the soul of the country and call for a matching drink – such as a full-bodied whiskey or a robust stout.

A particularly successful representative of this dark, robust beer style is Belhaven Scottish Stout. Brewed at the traditional Belhaven Brewery in Dunbar, it combines centuries-old craftsmanship with down-to-earth Scottish character.

In the glass, the stout presents itself as a deep black with ruby-red reflections and is adorned with a creamy, hazelnut-brown head. The first sniff reveals roasted aromas of freshly brewed coffee, notes of dark chocolate, and a hint of toffee. A subtle smokiness crowns the olfactory first impression. On the palate, the Belhaven Scottish Stout is wonderfully balanced: velvety and smooth in the mouth, with a harmonious interplay of bitterness and full-bodied malt sweetness. A full spectrum of the finest roasted flavors brings caramel, cocoa, and roasted grains to the tongue.

Whether with food or on its own, this stout is an authentic sip of Scotland and a must for anyone who appreciates dark and powerful brews.
