3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours very dark, near black color with a thick ash brown colored head. Aroma is of malts, perhaps some seaweed, banana, slight coffee, and some earthiness. Flavor is different than what I was expecting. It includes malts, coffee, some earthiness, hay, and roast. Leaves a roasty finish. For some reason I was expecting a grimey sea flavor, but nothing like that present at all. Similar to an oyster stout.

aroma is chocolate, some sea-breeze hangin’ around. a bit salty in taste, quite sweet. low body, as expected by the alcohol volume. some english hops present. nice beer, too bad the kelps aren’t really detectable...
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Appearance: very dark brown and red, short tan head, no lacing. Aroma: roasty and malty, with hints of chocolate, maybe a bit of coffee. Taste: roasty malts, chocolate, hint of toast, whisper of metal tang. Finish: short, sweetish, chocolatey, with the roast notes remaining. Notes: Pretty much a watery chocolate porter. Flavors slightly reminiscent of Harviestoun Old Engine Oil. Expected a little more ’seaweed’y character, whatever that is, if just for the novelty. It’s ok, I guess.

Nel mio pub-taverna preferito, il mio caro Andrea mi fa assaggiare questa scottish stout al profumo di mare. Non ero molto convinto e invece si è rivelata veramente buona, mi è garbata parecchio.

Roasted flavour and aroma, some chocolate. Very interesting beer, a "watery stout" of sorts. I’m not sure I tasted the seaweed though. Colour is red or dark brown. (Bottle)

Aroma of light roast dark malt, milk chocolate, some vegetable. Slighty unusual but good aroma.
Taste - Chocolate, some roast malt, liquorice, very light coffee, hint of vegetable, bit of fruity malt, toasted bread. Quite complex. No seaweed!
Palate - Intially light bitter, then gets sweeter, very smooth, low carb, short dryish finish with some of roast malt and a hint of coffee.
Overall - Was worried about this, but it’s a good beer. Can’t detect seaweed (apart from some vegetable) and not salty(!). Don’t be put off by the label - 14/20.
