May 16, 2008 [on tap at the Red Lion, Southwold] A thin brown head quickly dissipates, leaving the usual stout flavours of coffee and chocolate. The aftertaste and mouthfeel is oddly reminiscent of flat coca cola. Overall impression was that it was a bit thin and watery compared to other stouts, and the flavours are rather muted. Not bad, but a dissappointment compared to Adnams’ other brews.

Mar 25, 2008 Cask at the Brewery Tap with renffisch. Black with a small tan head. Salty smelling with a bit of kiwi fruit too. The oyster element is very evident in the flavour and there’s even a slight seaweed taste. The palate has a creamy element but there’s a slightly plasticky component though. Interesting stuff.

Mar 6, 2006 A dark, almost black beer, with a strong coffee brown head. A bittersweet malty nose with a toasted nuttiness. The taste is also of butter sweet malt, plus a hint of liquorice and hops. The body is medium for such a beer and the aftertaste is smooth and rounded. (Draught - Darby’s, Swanton Morley, Norfolk).

Jul 29, 2004 Updated: Aug 3, 2004Draught. Dark red/brown in colour, some more fruitiness than many stouts I have tried. Still, familiar roastiness with a hint of coffee.
Decent beer.

Mar 11, 2004 Cask Conditioned at The Black Horse, Moreton Morrell, Warks. Black with ruby hint and tan head. Lovely thick stout, dry and powdery with a chocolate roasted malt. Nutty at the finish with a silky smoothness. Very good beer, however; this used to be 4.6 ABV and somehow I remember it being a little better.

Feb 23, 2004 Cask. Light toasted nose - would have liked much more there given the dark dark brown color. Low tight head. Fairly substantial body with nuttiness and maybe a touch of butter. Dry coffee end. Waxy mouthfeel and a medium body.
