4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: SEP 6, 2008 Really high quality beer this one. Has a dark bitter taste, in fact bittersweet and pleasing in general. the dry part is possibly the only downside, if there is a downside, though its an excellent ale especially in winter, does not quite feel like a summer beer, but thats ok.

Originally rated August 2004. Sampled from one of their very beautiful 500ml bottle (with hops embossed in it). Poured a nice golden-amber colour with a creamy off-white head that left a thick foamy head. The majority of smell is malt, with a hint of fruits. The mouth starts off very creamy, then leads into a world of bitterness, to then finish on a smooth level. An awesome ale with character !

Bottle (500ml): Buttery on the nose with grassy hops & a faint fruity smell. Maybe a hint of apple & orange with a slightest toffee smell too. Pours an nice amber colour with a huge, foamy white head that is extremely thick, lasts well & leaves some rather nice lacing around the glass. Some nice carbonation evident too. Sweet tasting to begin with that quickly moves into a moderately bitter finish that is very nice. The flavour tastes of a mixture of toffee & apple with a definite orange like finish. Medium bodied & quite smooth with very good carbonation. The foamy head is a joy as well. The beer is quite crisp with a dry finish that leaves you wanting more. This is an excellent all round ale that is incredibly easy to drink & would work wonders as a session ale. - - - abarwithnoname.wordpress.com

Väldigt god, mörk med choklad smak lite lik Young´s Chocolate Stout men inte lika mastig

Slightly bitter. Had this one slightly cold from the fridge. Nice colour. Got a taste of cheese for some reason. Not overpowering but very tasty. Good for a session.

Tofee aromas, smooth fruit palatte, malty finish. (1 pt and 9 fl oz). The package and the aromas alone are worth the four dollars i spent!

Pours a dark, golden amber colour with an off white sizable head that persists. Great lacing. Mostly malty flavour without a lot of hoppiness to balance it out. Some burnt caramel and other spices.

500ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber, with a thin head. The aroma is all dark chocolate, rich and bittersweet. There is an initial grassy and floral hops flavour, followed by a delicious, bitter coffee finish. A quality bitter, and far better than Black Sheep’s "Monty Python’s Holy Ale". Good stuff.
