| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 22, 2003 Casked conditioned ale. I drank the same cask as egajdzis at the Grey lodge Pub. I found Blackfish to be quite drinkable and a hoppy aftertaste. The dark particles were typical for these casks. Excellent cask and not easy to find, best checking with the brewery for availability. egajdzis (3625), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 20, 2003 Served on cask... Poured a dark garnet color with no head or lacing. It had a strong fruity aroma (blackberrys, I thought the blackfish was because it was blackberries). I am confused by the commercial description here. I would have classified this as a fruit ale, but I guess mild ale is OK. The taste was dominated by blackberries and grape juice, and it was very smooth and juicy. As I finished the glass I noticed some dark particles at the bottom. I am not quite sure if I had the same beer that is listed here in the database, because I did not notice any characteristics of an extra pale or a porter. But it was certainly called Blackfish, that much I know. But I enjoyed this none-the-less. chronictonic (402), Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2002 A blend of their XPA and Porter - served on the beer engine. Muddy brown in color with a loose, foamy head that dissipates quickly. Fruity hop character aroma. Initial flavor is a slightly fruity, hoppy and juicy, transitions next to a roasted wood sharp flavor with moderate bitterness. As it finishes, the flavor slides on into a mellow malty sweetness with undertones of nuts and roasted malt. Delicious. lockman (29), Somers Point, New Jersey, USA
