Bottle. dark ruby colour with small baige head. Light roasted, fruity, coffee aroma and taste. Medium body with a light dry coffee finish.

A deep red beer - almost brown - with a huge light brown head. The aroma is acidic, fruity and roasted. While the flavor balances between sweetness and acidity with notes of roasted malt and hints of butter, leading to a dry end. The mouthfeel is slightly sticky.

Bottle. Clear orange coloured with an off white head. Smokey aroma with notes of anise and fruits. Sweet flavour of smoke and fruits.

Bottled. Brown coloured with creamy town. Aroma of apple and blackcurrant with chocolate notes. Sweet berries and roasty coffee in the flavour. Dry and bitter coffee finish.

Cask Stillage at the Memorial Hall, Northwich 20/09/2003 Black beer, very sweet blackcurrant flavour dominates. This eventually gives way to some roast malt in the lasting finish.

Bottled. Plain weak looking black beer. The aroma is very, very sweet and slightly watery and the flavour is like weak cold coffee with far too much sugar in it. Overall a horrible beer.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2005 Cask hand-pump at the Moon and Bell, Loughborough. Near black, tan head. Sweey coffee and malt aroma. Same for the taste, plus dark fruits and liquorice perhaps. Full bodied, chewy in fact, not easily drinkable but worth the effort, and excellent nontheless.

Cask Conditioned & on Hand pump at The babington in Derby on the 22nd Jan 2005 Ruby Black in colour. Smells great looks great & loads of flavour. Unfortunatly to much falvour Fruity (lots of Cherry there). Almost an oaty texture to it, making it a little hard to drink

UPDATED: AUG 10, 2005 Cask, Derby Fest 04. Very much a panda looking beer - very black with a very white head. Aromas are sweet oats and coffee. Flavours also have that oatiness, with lots of sweetness and sourness to finish. The palate is very smooth. Far too sweet for me, hence the low score. Good name, though.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dark brown with an obvious aroma of black currant winegums. Sweet and estery. Mildly malty with soft mouthfeel. Despite the rather strong black currant flavour it doeesn't go overboard, and manages to stay quite enjoyable. A true oddity.
