Sep 25, 2009 Solid for what it is. A dark ale with some decent fruit tones. Easy drinking and definetely not offensive

Apr 27, 2009 On tap at an AFL club in Brisbane. A black-brown beer with a small tan head. Roasted malt aromas predominate with hints of toffee. Medium-light bodied with flavours of roasted malts and some mocha-like undertones. Neutral short finish. Disappointing.

Apr 25, 2009 375ml bottle. Burnt amber to ruby in colour and a small tan head that consisted of big bubbles that scattered across the top of the glass. Coffee aroma with a mild dry texture and mild taste. Hint of fruit. Easy on the palate and easy to drink.

does not count  Dec 28, 2008 kinda nice roast malt flavor but nothing else really comes through, could stand a little less carbonation

Dec 28, 2008 ...bottle. Pours a dark opaque brown with a dark tan head. On the nose was dark roasted malt, dark fruits, and maybe some chocolate. Flavors were mostly roasted malt, with a slight hint of those nasty carlton hops, and caramel. Carbonation was too high, and made it harsh instead of smooth. Flavors similar to a stout, but no way near the alcohol at 4.4. Thin body, slightly oily txture with a lingering carlton finish. Better than I expected, but still not that good.

Apr 6, 2008 Bottle (375ml). Poured a very deep ruby brown (almost black) with a dense frothy off-white head which was average lasting. Aroma was of mild, smoky roasted malts with sweet toffee, sweet sultana’s, milk chocolate and a hint of coffee. Flavor was a bit of a mess with sickly sweet malts, tart blackberries, virtually no bitterness, some dates and a mild nutty finish. Light bodied with medium carbonation, a somewhat oily texture, dry mouthfeel and a short finish.

Jan 13, 2008 Dark ruby almost black colour, fair head full bodied flavour fruity but with the salty sour carlton taste to spoil a good ale.
