Jan 15, 2008 12 oz bottle, via SoLan & TheCheeseMan. Pours an almost black body with a small fizzy quickly fading light brown head. Some light lacing remained. The nose is a combo of roast, licorice, brown sugar, and chocolate. The flavor is slightly lactic with a good dose of and almost powdered sugar sweetness overlying a sharp roasted and burnt malt base. Finishes with a good dose of chalky and bitter roasted barley. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slight clingyness that makes the finish last forever. A little too much fizzy carbonation going on for me. Overall, an enjoyable enough beer that I haven’t revisited for many years. I do remember it being a little fuller and with a little more depth, but then that could just be my tastes and expectations have changed too.

Jan 14, 2008 Black with an average sized attractive brown head. Light malty aroma with a slight trace of chocolate. Quite malty, roasted flavours which gain intensity towards the quite dry finish. Medium to full body. A fine beer.

Jan 1, 2008 Bottle, Dodgy Deli, on Cowley Road in Oxford. Deep brown, almost black, with a layer of leathery tan that lingers tenaciously. The raisin and plum smell of molasses with a nice buttery walnut note. Fine textured port-like dry roast flavor. Medium to light bodied in a way that keeps it very refreshing in a surprising sort of way. Dry earthy finish. A proper FES indeed.
