Dec 17, 2008 330ml bottle from Nelsons. Very dark brown/near black with no real head. Sweet dark choc malt on the nose and on the tongue, but with a cheesy note that gives it body and a fruity hint right at the swallow. Very soft on the tongue, slightly oily.

Jan 4, 2004 Well why not try to buy this in Scotland?? a Scotsman will look at you like you have green ears, they have never heard of the stuff. It must be for export only, found in York, England for £1.49. Looks like a stout or porter totally black, tastes like a sweet stout, very smooth, very drinkable; too bad it was only 330ml.

Apr 26, 2008 From an 11.2 oz bottle this poured a black as oil from a 1968 Volkswagen driven 30,000 miles through the desert without an oil change. Medium light brown head and good lacing. Nose of roasted malts with chocolate, coffee, and burnt wood chips. Very rich and creamy mouthfeel. Finish is like bittersweet chocolate. Very nice brew.

Mar 13, 2005 Brown color with a beige head. The taste is a sweet light dry malty body with slight nutty, or caramel notes. Finishes pleasantly bitter and hoppy.

Nov 19, 2008 Black pour with brown head. Nose is full of dark roast. Roasty chocolate in the flavor. Medium chewy body with a bitter chocolate finish. Decent beer just not worth the $4 pricetag.

Sep 15, 2009 11.2 oz from the Boise Co-op. Pours a dark brown color with a massive light-beige head and loads of sticky lacing. The aroma is smooth chocolates, roasted malts, maybe some smoke. The flavor is nice; sweet chocolates and coffee, some light fruit and a pervasive earthy-smoke flavor. Sort of thin, but nice. Really, this is a porter not an Old Ale.
