Aug 9, 2006 Bottled – GBBF. A blackish beer with a red hue. The aroma is wonderful with lots of licquorice and caramel as well as alcohol and soy sauce. The taste is full and has all the characteristics of the aroma beautifully balanced. Very very drinkable and tasty. Truly delicious and my beer of the Festival.

Aug 7, 2006 Bottle at GBBF 2006. I hadn’t realised the strength of this. Very deep ruby colour with some nice raisins and a bit of caramel. Bit milky. Amazing dark dried fruit in the mouth. Prunes, raisins, currants. Smooth and rather lovely. Some burntness. Rich. Like Christmas cake.

Jul 22, 2006 A black liquid with a whitish foam. Tastes of chocolate and caramel. Alittle sweet from the alcohol? No strong alcohol taste for being over nine percent abv. Quite heavy. with a strong body.

Jul 21, 2006 Pours a deep mahogany, with a very burnt chocolate aroma and high carbonation. It has the same flavor with lots of coffee aftertaste. A bit too sweet for me, but not a bad beer. Surprisingly, it is hard to notice the high alcohol.

Jul 21, 2006 In my opinion this porter is far too sweet. It tastes like a homebrew that has too much unfermented sugar left in the bottle.
But as a positive, the beer has a good appearance. And you hardly taste the alcohol, despite the high ABV. Overall it’s just average, and that’s probably why it’s so inexpensive. $1.50 for a 16.9 oz, 9.4% ABV, imported beer... that’s bargain basement pricing right there.
