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.

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.

Aug 10, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours black with a good size beige head. Aroma of roast, fruit, port, and slight coffee. The flavor is semi-sweet, fruit, roast, followed by some port, and bitterness. Good brew.

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.

Jul 24, 2007 500ml bottle from Threshers. Almost black with a reddish tinge, and a light coffee head; chocolate malt aroma with perhaps a hint of port; full and chewy flavour, slightly tart, developing an intense coffee body, again with just a hint of port; leading to a burnt malt chocolate finish. Quite complex.

Jul 7, 2007 bubble gum and soy sauce aroma with a brownish head on this inerestingly different imbibe. sweetish and dry malt bitterness that balances well and is roasty. carbonation is small and a bit fierce. i sense gravymaster. anyway the port does come thru and this an unconventional stout in many ways. it should be expected for the higher price. i love chocolate and coffee and i can honestly say i detect none of either. but a slight alcohol burn....odd! not creamy at all and perhaps a touch slippery behind a fine curtain of tight carbonation. and no it is not slippery.
