Oct 28, 2009 Bottle @ pre-GBBF shindig, August 2009. An excellent tasty dark beer. Lovely chocolate. Some raisins. Spices are mercifully restrained. Full, rich mouthfeel, but not too heavy. Luscious, fruity sweetness but not too sickly or sticky. Touch or herbal bitterness on the end. Good balance, plenty of depth. Jolly good stuff. Not sure it’s a foreign stout though.

Aug 11, 2009 A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
Good stuff this is. I’m often a fan of Felstar beers and this is no exception. Big and fruity, just the rich spice and pudding, definitely some dark spirit notes. Faint chocolate. Boozy finish with a hint of bitterness and a bit of pepper. Great balance. Good stuff.

Aug 7, 2009 Bottle at the legend of Chriso’s pre GBBF09 Tasting. Alround rating: Big roasty burnt sweetness, lots of spice, no balance or colaboration, just a big mess. No good.
