Black colour, with small light-brown head. Tar, glue and licorice aroma. Salty, almost fishy flavour profile, with a fair deal of sweetness. Smokiness is here. Bit of gluey maltiness. Long, salty finish. Wonderful beer in a league of its own. jefcon (1004), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 8, 2008 Very dark pour with a soft, light tan head. Earthy, dry aromas with baked chocolate, dark caramel and coffee. Lots of length on the palate with a hot, dry finish. Plenty of plummy fruit is soon overwhelmed by the other malty components. Surprisingly light and creamy mouthfeel. harrisoni (6829), Ashford, Kent, England

Cask handpull at Willow Walk ’Sporks. I had this on cask at the old strength in the Guildford Arma, Edinburgh and it was one of the beers of the RBESG 07 for me, so I was interested in this. Black, ruby hints, thin tan head. This is still a tasty beer with smoky charcoal and tarry malts. Good fullness in mouth. Aroma is excellent. Good fruit in mouth. Decent stinging finish. Rounded juicy charcoal in mouth. Excellent. 3.9/5.0

Cask handpull at the Guildford Arms. Black and opaque with a reddish hue at the edges and a good tan head. Dark malty aroma with fruit, figs and lots of coffee. Similar flavour, quite meaty with a coffee and dark chocolate finish. Viscous, oily, smotth and drinkable. rlgk (3378), Vårgårda, Sweden
