Dec 29, 2009 Near-black sepia with a thin eggshell head. Nose is old roast and light citrus fun, maybe some light lactose in there. Flavor is softer and better, orange and vanilla citrus underpinning a faintly roasted malt that is silky cream. Really silky body, but the finish is too short. Enjoyable, arguably unique, but neither ground-breaking or mind-blowing. More like a nice beer for a nice Tuesday evening.

Dec 29, 2008 Rich brown pour with spicy odour. Earthy, malty but not much liquorice. Still decent.

Sep 13, 2008 Deep brown-black beer with a creamy tan head. Aroma is quite sweet and malty with a softly peaty caramelly nose. Some toasted rye bread and lots of sweet maltiness. Flavour is quite complex. Tosted wheat and rye with lots of sweet/spicy graininess. There is also something else in here like toffee or peat. Some licorice and a dark treacle/molasses backnote. Quite a complex brew and also quite tasty.

Apr 2, 2007 A Mes rate: 33cl bottle at Chris O’s extravaganza. Not the most inviting looks wise being a murky mud brown. Chocolate orange aroma and flavour with some slight tartness. So so.

Apr 1, 2007 Bottled - Chris_O Fest March 07. A very dark brown coloured beer with off-white bubbles for a head. The aroma is chocolatey with brown bread and raisins. The taste is chocolatey but also fruity with some orange notes. Quite tasty really.
