Feb 13, 2006 12 Feb 06 - LIght sweet smokey malt aroma. Clear medium brown colour, reasonable head and suds lacing. Roasted malt and some fruit flavours. Fizzy finish with a roast malt aftertaste.

Feb 10, 2006 Huge offwhite fine-laced head over dark red body. Faint, sweet, roasty aroma with hop notes. Deep, sweet, harmonic taste of roasty malts with red fruit character and bitter, tarry aftertaste with sweet chocolatey taste lingering. Complex and interesting. This is a great beer!

Feb 9, 2006 Updated: Aug 6, 2008Bottle@SomeRestaurantBrighton. Complex aroma that smells more like a stout than a strong ale with malts, coffee and herbal hops. Redish brown color, beige beautiful head, very nice lace. Starts quite neutral and sweet but soon becomes very herbal and bitter. Tastes like a 5.7% Barley Wine. Medium body, bit dry.

Feb 8, 2006 Ghost. Interesting bastard of a brew. Smelled like some type of wood, and there are multiple tastes swirling around inside this one. Some type of fruit, and......mint snuff? Yikes! Definitely mint Skoal inparticular. not that that is a bad thing per se. I’d buy it again. Highly enjoyable.

Feb 5, 2006 Updated: Feb 20, 2006Black Sheep please me again. This excellent brew pours dark red with a wonderful beige head. The sweet malty flavour is perfectly offset by the bitter finish.

Feb 3, 2006 Bottle. Orange and raisin bread aroma. Dark copper color with small head. A doughy orange flavor with moderate hops and alcohol finish. Good but not great.

Feb 2, 2006 Point off for the dead sheep on the label freaking me out, man!!! If I don’t look at it though, I’m okay. Beer’s pretty good, like everyone says, like a very dark, fruity, and heavy brown ale.

Feb 1, 2006 Bottle (500ml?). Poured deep clear mahogany with a large light reddish-brown foamy head. Very nice aroma of mildly spicy yeast, light roast caramel malt, pungent hops, slightly woody, musty and a hint of carbonized peach skin. Taste - really interesting, chalky, peach pit bitterness, almost a old porter character to it - very dry - the fruit and malt character is very much in abeyance, although it certainly tastes yeasty and very musty. Mouthfeel is like thick cloth, or banana pith, still and dry, with a long, chalky nominally sweet finish.
