wyzzywyz22 (754), Wirral, Merseyside, England Jun 22, 2008 Cask, Bag O’ Nails, Bristol. Colour was a ruby tinged black. Aroma had elements of malt, caramel and chocolate. Smooth and sweetish. The port didn’t really make its presence felt enough. Pretty average. KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark May 28, 2008 Black with medium beige head. Aroma has roasted malt, liquerice and coffee notes. Flavor is mild sweet with coffee, hard roasted malt and liquerice notes. Ends bitter. Lunkie (1020), Glen Iris, Australia May 17, 2008 Sweet berry malt aroma.Dark brown colour with great head and lacing. Malty berry flavour with smokey aftertaste. Smooth palate. austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland May 17, 2008 Dark ruby to black, small beige head. Nose is softly burned malts, coffee, some cherries and port like dried fruits. Flavor is burned, dry malty with smooth bitter finish. Quite a contrast with the aroma. Medium bodied, quite smooth but a bit watery palate. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA May 14, 2008 500 ml, bb 07 29 09. Opaque with a four-finger lasting head. Coffee, split green hickory wood, and slight gunmetal in the aroma. Flavor is a nice blend of coffee, hickory, char, dried leaf, some subtle caramel and light fruity acid. Medium-heavy body has a smooth, watery mouthfeel, and finishes with a chalky dryness on the tongue. puggy211 (576), cordova, Tennessee, USA May 9, 2008 Black with browny white head. Aroma of hops, chocolate and especielly coffee. The texture is very soft, unfortunatly its very thin as well. Aftertaste is a bit bitter and very short!
