pours a dark black with very little head. The low carbonation makes for a very smooth drink. The flavour is really nice. The dark chocolate taste is very prominant initially then I was left with a hoppiness on the finishl. It was a nice finish as well in that the hoppiness wasn’t overly bitter and complimented the chocolate nicely. A great beer if you are in the mood for something with similar flavours to a stout but want something that doesn’t have to be savoured as much ie easy drinking. A really good beer especially the flavour.

Oct 10, 2008 Poured from 11.2oz bottle this beer is almost black in color with a thin creamy head. Aromas of chocolate and coffee. Tastes of chocolate malt with a bit of molasses. Finishes more like a Porter. Full mouthfeel. This is very tasty. Not a session brew, but would be a nice treat after a hearty meal.

Oct 4, 2008 Flaske. Flot cremet skum på en mørk øl. Engelsk lakrids i duften. Smagen er "gammel" og jeg fatter ikke hvordan jeg kan skrive det om en old ale, men det skal forstås på den gode måde. Den slutter bittert. Udmærket øl.

Sep 25, 2008 Bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--What a treat. In a nice new fresh label. A mid-bodied opaque black body with an amber hue and a thin tan swirl head. Sweet, nutty, gritty, malten nose. Noteworthy vanilla, chalky, chocolaty, dessertive, roasted, lovable, super dark yet highly quaffable glass of freakin’ beer. This beer excused many a bad UK beers. Oi!

Sep 23, 2008 This is very nice. Black, it has a small-to-medium head, light bornw and dense, slowly shrinking. The smell is chocolate, prunes, hints of earth, leaves, bread, a hint of coffee, like a nice, rich porter crossed with Old Pecuilier. The taste is full-bodied rich but smooth and zesty. It has chocolate, brown bread, fruit, prunes, hints of toast and wine and earth and licorice. It’s very nice and goes down easily despite the full character.

Sep 22, 2008 bottle-pours a tan head that reduces to a ring and black color. Aroma is dark malt-molasses/cocoa powder, ash, tart dark fruit. Taste is dark malt-cocoa, tart dark fruit. Mid taste on molasses/cocoa powder, ash comes to the front. Unusual. Occasional.
