Jul 21, 2006 Smells of caramel, bready and chocolate/coffee. Tastes fruity(raisin, apple) a lot of roasted malty bitterness and some hops. Finishes dry bitterish and roasted again. Nice one.

Jul 7, 2006 Nice dark amber colour, leaning into black. Plenty of hoppiness in the aromas, even some bread appearing... Quite a powerful taste, leaning towards a stoutiness with plenty of hops. The aftertaste leaves a nice caramel impression.

Jul 2, 2006 A nice classic header with a hint of toast/bread.
A pitch black with a tanned foam.
A medium bitter taste going into a stout-porter direction, very appealing.
A full body with a light creamy texture, soft carbonation, and lightly in fizzynes with a long finish.
Overall a very pleasant and astonishing tasting beer.

Jun 9, 2006 Poured a brown color with red edges and a very nice head. Lacing was solid. Aroma was of roasted malts, some peat smoke, and coffee. Flavor was similar with some licorice mixed in. Very astringent and finished somewhat bitter and dry, although not that hoppy. Not my personal liking of a beer and I’d take many an "English Strong Ale" over it.

Jun 7, 2006 Pours to a dark brown, with hints of red, tan head that lingers and excellent lacing. Aroma of malt, and dark fruit. Taste is predominantly dark fruit with hints of choclate at early glass. Alcohol becomes more evident at mid-glass as beer warms. Slightly sour palate at first turns to a nice smooth, dry warming finish at the end of the glass.
