Aug 31, 2009 Cask@Peterborough Beer Festival, 2009. Black beer with a brown tinge. The aroma is lightly roasted, and the flavour is mildly roasted and bitter. Overall an average mild beer.

May 4, 2009 Bottle from Real Ale Ltd, cheers Duff, consumed 30-04-09 Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is woody, touch of smoke and some dark fruits. Tastes really very nice, plenty of chocolate, the woodiness on the nose returns, but there is also a very juicy streak of citrussy hops ploughing their way through this beer. Most enjoyable.

Nov 16, 2008 Cask at BH, Pori. Dark ruby, firm beige head with good lacing. A tad chocolatey, nutty aroma, nicely malty. Good nuttiness, chocolate malts and herbal hops in the dry flavor. Quite similar to Dark star festival I had a few weeks ago. Medium bodied, almost flat palate. Tasty brew, runs down easily

Nov 1, 2008 (Cask@Beer Hunters, Pori).
Dark ruby-copper color, creamy beige head. Crisp, menthol hoppy aroma. Quite hoppy, some caramelly maltyness. Good hoppy session ale with caramelly backbone. Could be more lively, but otherwise a-ok.

Coffee aroma. Very dark red, large loose head. Soft palate, pleasant carbonation. Rich burnt taste, lots of burnt finish. Fairly pleasant. Both strength and subtlety. Well balanced.
rerate: Similar, maybe better, at Pullman. Final rating created from maxima.

Sep 16, 2008 Cask@The Old Bank, Turku. Dark brownish black colour, mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is burnt wood, roasted malts and some mild dark dry fruits along with vanilla. Flavour is quite much the same with also some fresh fruity notes lurking. I could have more of this one anytime.

May 16, 2008 [on draught at The Inn at Freshford, Somerset] My brother Jim called it "pure evil in a glass", my Dad agreed. I thought so too at first, but it did grow on me a little over the course of the pint. Burnt malt dominates throughout. There’s some fruity tanginess in the background. It’s intensely and unpleasantly bitter but leaves a syrupy coating in your mouth.
