United KingdomBelhaven wee heavy
I loved the Belhaven 90shilling and the oatmeal stout both excellent ales and I will be purchasing more very soon. Full bodied and delicious Also excellent delivery service
United KingdomLovely Beer - a blast from the past.
This is a terrific beer which I hope becomes very popular - fans of Belgian beer should love this. Back in the eighties this was available on draught (half pints only), and was one of my top three favourites - I looked for it for many years without success and assumed it had gone for ever (the 80/- is a nice "heavy" but not in the same class), so I was delighted to come across it on the GK site. I bought 30, and will definitely be back for more!
United KingdomWee but the best!
