Dec 3, 2009 Black with light brown shining through. Small beige head that stays. Aroma is light with english hops, light roasted malt and mineral notes. Body is medium and smooth, goes down easy. Flavour is roasted malt, chocolate, light caramell and coffe, minerals and english hops. Very drinkable but a bit too thin for my liking.

Nov 22, 2009 Bottle, poured an oily black with small off white foam head. Smooth with chocolate notes and a nice light hop presence. A bit of sweetness with some slight dry bitterness. Had this during the Devonshire Halloween tasting. Have one cellared so looking forward to trying a solo flight. Liked it!

Nov 16, 2009 Pours a dark color with a thin head. Taste starts a little watery, but then has hints of chocolate and coffee, finishes slightly bitter. Overall thin... needs more depth. I liked it... I just think it is missing some things. I doubt I will buy another... but glad I tried it once.

Nov 3, 2009 From the bottle, pours oil plack with a decent white foamy head. Aroma is thin, maybe a little smokey. Taste is also thin, almost watery at first. Flavors of chocolate, bitters, lightly bitter finish. Not a very "viscous" beer as the label suggests. I’d call this a drinkable alternative to a stout. I’d drink another one.

Nov 2, 2009 Bottled. Dark color, short head. Aroma of some roasted malt, some chocolat. Quite typical old ale aroma, but nicely balanced. Mild roasted taste, malty, quite bitter, bit dry. Decent stuff.
