| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 28, 2007 Sweet with a big port flavoured aroma. Reasonable bitterness and body but overall left with a slightly artificial feeling. davidpl (435), Santiago, Chile
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 28, 2007 Appearance: dark brown color. Great head, beige color, some rocky and high persistency.
Aroma: coffee, wood, roasted grains, berries, sweet chocolate, truffle, soft floral-hoppy and mineralized touches.
Flavor: toasty not very intensive for the style; bitter chocolate, grain coffee, fruity of berries and winy. Softly spicy like aniseed. Persistent dry-toasty finish; with soft metallic, woody and smoked aftertaste.
Palate: light body for the style, silky texture. Medium carbonation.
Nice, but slightly discreet. glkaiser (1164), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 22, 2007 Very dark brown, but not quite black. Huge rocky head. Very light chocolate and fruit aroma and taste. Kind of flat - not sweet, not much roast. Quite dry. Can’t say I don’t like it, but can’t say it’s that good. I may have let this one sit a little too long. Had this a few years now. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Bottle. Deep dark brown with a huge, lacing light brown head. Intense coffee aroma with berries and some chocolate hiding beneath. Great roasted flavours, hinting of chocolate, delivering vanilla and coffee. Full-bodied and soft. O’Hanlons does not disappoint.
