1st August 2008. Opaque black brown beer. Very light and crisp. Very minerally with just an undertone of malt. Light finish and a light beer. Refreshing and a little different.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, Tesco, Carlisle. One I’ve been meaning to try for a while, as it looked intriguing. Soft and full flavoured, with plenty of berries in the taste. Quite light in body, drank like a pleasant sweetish mild. Not bad, but not spectacular.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
I had not seen this beer since back in my early days of rating so it was nice to come across it again. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a small dark brown head that faded quickly. The aroma was fruity and malty with a touch of cherry and a anise. The flavor was ripe cherry, roasty malts, a touch of molasses, caramel and vanilla. The finish was long with malt and cherry. Medium body. Nice.

i was surprised by this. nice dark black color, good body. has a sweet caramel malt aroma. Taste is some roast malts, caramel, and maybe a hint of licorice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle - Pours dark and beautiful, with a big, bubbly tan head. Aroma is clean, with malty sweetness almost like an Oktoberfest, with honey and light fruit notes. Taste is chocolate and bread, with a light floral hop finish. Light and easy to drink, I could see myself taking several of these down without even knowing it. Very nice.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Full and thick mouthfeel, beautifully jet black pour, spot-on use of malt (erupting into notes of roasted fillintheblank), and a finish which prompts a return to drinking.
