Jun 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium white head. Malty aroma with chocolate and fruit notes. The flavour is sweet malt, chocolate and fruit. This is pretty good and a nice surprise from these guys. It has a good mouthfeel and malt backbone, with a dry and bitter finish. I raise my glass to the humpback’s...keep doing what you do.

Mar 10, 2009 Bottle (330ml) 6.2%. Poured deep dark hazy brown with a dense, tanned creamy head which lasted very well. Aroma was of toasted malts with light port notes, muscatels, dusty dark chocolate, sticky fruit cake and some light woody notes in the back. Flavor was also of toasted malts with bitter chocolate, ripe plums, caramelized figs, light notes of port and a slightly smoky finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, a dry toasted mouthfeel and a great finish. Seemed more along the lines of an “English Strong Ale” to me and a decent one at that.

Feb 19, 2009 330ml. Poured a coppery colour with a large rocky tan head. Aroma of burnt toffee and malt. Strong thick flavour, rum and raisin with a hint of chocolate at the finish.

Jul 26, 2008 Good on the pour; very dark brown with a modest head that is well formed. Aromas are atypical, well at least to me. Shows more than a hint of passionfruit, which believe it or not mates quite well with the not unexpected darker malts. I swear there’s a touch of fruit popping up again very early in the palate. Works ok. This beer shouldn’t be an object of attraction but it is.

Jul 19, 2008 Presented pretty well in the glass, deep ruby red body with a light tan head. Bit of chocolate, a bit of fruit and a bit of smoke in the taste. Fairly smooth taste and good aroma especially when it has warmed a little.
