kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Mar 1, 2006 Bottle: Really dark black with a tan head. Berry and fruit aroma. Sweet soft chocolate flavour with berrie notes. Medium bodied, nice. TheEpeeist (1429), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 26, 2006 Updated: Mar 4, 200612 oz bottle. 1 of 4 from a gift pack. Dark cola color with burgundy tinges. Dirty tan yeasty head settles to a film with some lacing. Smells of brown bread, molasses and chocolate; licorice and cigar. Tastes like a basic oatmeal stout with hints of chocolate raspberries. Medium body with alcohol coming through in the end. crzybob77 (528), Richmond, Virginia, USA Feb 24, 2006 Sour fruit aroma. Black with tan head. Has a roasty almost smokey flavor with fruit behind that. I descent beer. Probably wouldnt get it again. paulmetzger (152), Pocatello, Idaho, USA Feb 21, 2006 Black, dark, low carbonation. Berries and chocolate aroma. Starts with coffee then quickly becoming sweet and then the berry kicks in. Wouldn’t buy again, considering the price. The beery to berry ratio isn’t right. tomciccateri (496), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Feb 16, 2006 330ml brown bottle. Freshness date notched 12 months later. Pours an opaque dark brown, with thick tan head. A rich, grape-like aroma and big berry flavor. Medium-bodied, with an early hop bitterness and dry finish.

Dark coloured and smooth on the palate. Fruity with a slightly bitter hop finish. Spiesy (2333), Global Citizen, Greater London, England Jan 31, 2006 Bottled. Deep dark brown body with a purple hue, little or no head. Rich roasty, chocolate flavours, balanced by a mildly acidic fruity tone, all held together with a light, refreshing body that would be recognisable to lovers of Porter. This is a lovely drop and real surprise to be pulling out of the hat on a Tuesday night. Quevillon (1518), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Jan 26, 2006 Assé spéciale cette bière, j’aime bien ce goût de fruit. Là si je peux en trouver du "elderberry".
