Beer 184 - Belhaven Scottish Stout

Brewed at the Belhaven Brewery, Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland.  Bought at Spec's downtown liquor store and drunk at home before dinner.

The bottle says "Using a traditional Scottish recipe from the 1800's, this deluxe stout is brewed with pure Scottish water drawn from the Belhaven brewery well. The black beers exceptional qualities arise from the triple blend of malts crafted as only the master brewers at Belhaven know how. Alc 7.0% by vol.  This deluxe stout is brewed for a full roasted chocolate flavor with a hop character that complements a blend of triple malts.  Drink, Savor and enjoy."

A delightful beer, dark in color, strong chocolaty flavor and easy to drink and enjoy.  More of a beer to sip than to quaff, this would taste very nice with Cheshire cheese.
