Dark ruby red, brown in color. no head. Smooth flavor; dry with chocolate malts. A little too lactose in the finish. Ok. Probably the best of the Harvey’s line I’ve had. But that’s not saying much. jimhilt (1690), Bow, New Hampshire, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 13, 2006 Courtesy of Pailhead. Dark brown almost black, minimal head, mostly film. Both aroma and flavor have a huge licorice character to them. Very dry and bitter in the finish. Licorice quality kills this beer for me. esjaygee (1578), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Dark brown with some ruby accents and a thin tan head that leaves some lace. Aroma of sweet malt, sugar, black licorice and mild chocolate. Taste of black licorice, sweet roasted malt, anise and perhaps molasses. Body comes across with a grainy texture with almost a cola-like feel. Meh. Quevillon (1537), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada
