Sep 3, 2004 Lovely golden orange colour with white frothy head. I expected it to be a dark ale, the black sheep name I guess. Not what I thought it was, but that’s fine. Easy to drink with a clean finish. Very much enjoyed this beer.

Sep 2, 2004 Strong malt, burnt brown sugar aroma with mild notes of dark fruits and a light pleasing nuttiness. Slightly hazy copper coloured with decent white head that diminishes rapidly to cover. Some nice lacing. Malt and caramel flavours up front chased by a pleasant floral hop character and decent balancing bitterness. Medium-light body though mouthfeel perhaps a touch thin. Very enjoyable session beer. Bottle. Thanks, JoeMcPhee!

Aug 29, 2004 I thought the body was thin but the smell and flavour of burnt malts and molasses were great. Decent hop presence to balance it off. Somewhat one-dimensional, but passable.

Aug 28, 2004 Bottle. Good bitter flavor with a little bit of fruitiness (cherry) in there. Nice dry finish with an alcohol bite. Good balance between the malts and hops. Very enjoyable.

Jul 31, 2004 07.31.04 500ml bottle. Hazed honey color; big, brainy head. Sweet aromas of clover honey, apple blossom, shortbread. Similar flavors. Some vegetable as it warms - a touch of green beans, raw peanuts - but not all bad. Plum and apricot as it warms further. Nice, quaffable, not outstanding.
