pours black with the slightest warm brown at the edges, like dark brown oil paint right out of the tube. Smells of a molasses, hop infusions, bit of booze. Thin tan head. Some apple sweetness. Taste has a strong sweetness and apple juice to it, along with honey, molasses. Good, but I don’t think I could drink much.

Sep 16, 2009 THIS IS A BLACK BEER WITH NO HEAD THAT LOOKS LIKE FLAT SODA. THE TASTE HOWEVER ISNT FLAT AT ALL IT ACTUALLY HAS A TON OF CARBONATED SWEET FLAVORS ALMOST TOO SWEET, SORT OF LIKE SWEET SLIGHTLY BURNT BLACK COFFEE LIKE SODA WITH A TAD OF PRUNE JUICE, SOUNDS NASTY BUT IT WORKS WELL, GOOD BEER. NOT GREAT.

Sep 13, 2009 Pours black with a fizzy, light brown and short lived head. Smells of port and molasses. Also some alcohol and dough in there. The taste is very sweet all the way through with a syrupy texture. Medium bodied with a fizzy carbonation and an alcoholic finish. Ricola herbal bonbons. If I had tasted this in a blind tes I would have guessed it to be a one of the belgian doubles that Cardinal used to have on tap. World-Beer-Awards just rated this one as Highly recommended in the category of World’s Best Export Stout. I do not agree it’s THAT big a deal.

Sep 9, 2009 Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. Man that’s rich!! Extreme chocolate flavour, reminds me of a very pleasant barley wine, but without the overpowering alcohol kick. A fine array of aromas to delight the senses; cherry, cough syrup, a hint of aniseed, caramel, more chocolate.... Gorgeous deep fruity flavour, a smoothness that just glides over the tongue and leaves a lovely warm glow. Epic........
