3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 DJMonarch (9153) - Northwich, Cheshire, ENGLAND - JAN 22, 2006
Cask Stillage at the Lowes Arms, Denton 23/07/2004
Black colour with some alcohol. Slightly rich on the palate. Bitter roast finish with a little dryness.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 TomSpears (65) - Norfolk, ENGLAND - FEB 23, 2005
Cask. Kings Arms as usual. A good stout as stouts go. Black as yer ’at and twice as tasty. All the usual suspects.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Gazza (726) - Worcester, Worcestershire, ENGLAND - NOV 3, 2004
Jet black in colour, and it has a sharp, roasty and camp-fires like smokiness to it but also a lot of roast, liquoricey and surprisingly juicy maltiness. A bit smoky for me, but not a bad beer. (Cask @ Lowes Arms, Denton)
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 duff (5484) - Lund, SWEDEN - OCT 24, 2004
Cask@St Albans BF. Pretty tarry and bitter stuff. Lots of coffee and dark chocolate, rich flavour, tasty stuff.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 chriso (7254) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 12, 2004
An intense black, rich, coffee accented stout. As others have noted, licorice, roast malt and bitter chocolate are also in evidence. Sumptuous, smooth, mouthfeel. Excellent stuff that bodes well for this new brewery. Cask (gravity dispense) at St Albans Beer Festival 2004.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Spiesy (2338) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - OCT 7, 2004
Gravity, at the St. Albans Beer Festival, 2004
Engine oil black with a rich smooth head. Silky and very roasted. I’ve written it again ’Silky’. It must have been the clearest impression in what was rapidly becoming a losing battling, what with Joeh insisting on try all the worlds strongest beers again. Maniac.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 maeib (7542) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - OCT 4, 2004
Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - St Albans Beer Festival. A rich chocolate treacle aroma to this black stout. A chewy roasty taste with lots of malt and some good licquorice notes.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Joeh (2038) - Buckinghamshire, ENGLAND - OCT 2, 2004
Cask Conditioned @ the Saturday session, St Albans Beer Festival 2004. Beer #21. Stout. Buttery, roasty, evident alcohol and pretty rich. Quite nice.
