Feb 12, 2003 Very nice appearance, with a ruby-black body topped by a small tan head... but that's where the niceness ends. Aroma is weak, with just a faint whiff of roasted malt and mocha. Body is watery and flat. Flavour is weak, with some mild malt and coffee notes, and a little hoppiness in the finish. The only thing that made this beer even remotely interesting was a hint of dark cherry that appeared in the finish once it warmed up to room temperature. Otherwise, a disappointing effort that pales next to Sam Smith's and St. Ambroise.

Feb 9, 2003 Black, but you can see some light thru it, medium tan head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Thin body. Weak roasted coffee and malt flavor. Sour finish.

Jan 28, 2003 This beer didn't do it for me. I found it thin and slightly overcarbonated. The expected flavors were there but I was underwhelmed.

Jan 20, 2003 Full of flavor, slightly sweet with a roasted chocolate and oatmeal style flavor. Relatively low alcohol content makes this somewhat smoother than some of the other Broughton Ales.

Jan 15, 2003 Was a little on the thin side for my taste. Wasn't chunky enough.

Jan 7, 2003 Updated: Dec 30, 2003Smells of strong coffe and chocolate with a hint of bitter stout. Pitch black pour with lots of head, looks just like the picture. Flavor is a creamy chocolate oatlike stout. Good representative of the style, reminds me of Fuller's London Porter with a pinch of stout. A very tasty beer.

Dec 28, 2002 Black colour, small head. Smokey aroma. Flavour is smokey first, slight roasted malts second. Finish is really weak with just a bit of roasted bitterness.
