Stout black with a contasting white head. Wow. This stout was absolutely, uniquely amazing. Not full of roasted malts, not toasting or dry but lovely. Somehow green seaweed flavours, perhaps romanticised but enjoyable none the less. Dakar’s world rules. imdownthepub (5148), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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. StueyD (590), King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Norfolk, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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). Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. harrisoni (6802), Ashford, Kent, England
