RichardGretton (2603), Leicestershire, England May 10, 2006 Bottle. Pitch black beer with a light dark head. The aroma is roasted coffee and the flavour is oaty, slightly smoked, bitter and roasted. Overall a nice beer. turbo (1244), Arizona, USA Sep 23, 2005 Bottle poured black with a dirty off white head.
Roast aroma with a roasty chocolate , coffee flavor like a watery porter.
not bad. JonMoore (1547), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England Aug 18, 2005 Bottle. very dark with some ruby. Slim tan head soon gone. Aroma is chocolate. Thin bodied. Chocolate and roast malt taste. Reasonable, I suppose. mullet (763), Melbourne, Australia Jan 31, 2004 A lot darker than expected. Poor head retention. Tasted like a schwarzbier to me - flavour and aroma are dominated by chocolate malt. Nothing else is really apparent. No off flavours, but it has a thin body and lack of malt, but the dark malt character compensates in a way. Sully (1363), Woolloomooloo, New South Wales, Australia Aug 3, 2003 A good dark beer with a nice clean head. The nose is a subtle chocolate with a slight burnt note. The body is quite thin but the flavour, like a schwarzbier, is more of the malt bitterness rather than hop presence.
