Because dancingbarefoot asked, here's the CB recipe for Belhaven Scottish Ale.
Belhaven Scottish Ale
from Clone Brews
12 oz. 55°L British crystal malt
2 oz. toasted 2-row pale malt
2 oz. peat-smoked malt
6.6 lb. John Bull light malt syrup
2.75 lb. M&F light DME
4 oz. black treacle
4 oz. cane sugar
2 oz. East Kent Goldings @ 6% AA (bittering)
½ oz. East Kent Goldings (flavor hop)
1 tsp. Irish moss
Wyeast 1728 Scottish ale yeast, or
Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley ale yeast
Yield: 5 gallons
OG: 1.074 - 1.077
FG: 1.015 - 1.019
IBU: 35
SRM: 18
ABV: 7.5%
The above is verbatim from Clone Brews. Note that this isn't the same Belhaven Scottish Ale that you were drinking Saturday night...this is the old Belhaven that we used to get in Tejas...7.5% ABV as opposed to ~ 5.5%. The taste is the same IIRC, but this will have a much more pronounced alcohol warmth, obviously.
If I was going to make this right now, I'd just use 10 lb. of Alexander's Pale LME instead of the LME/DME listed...it's cheap and fresh at DeFalco's. In fact, I'd go ahead and make it 11 lbs of LME and up it to a 5.5 gallon batch...if you do that go ahead and use 13 oz of 55°L.
