| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 9, 2008 Bottle from a gift pack given to me for Christmas. Pours a solid black center with very dar mahogany edges and a large bubbly beige head. Aroma starts of pleasant enough with lots of roasted malts, chocolate that as it warms shows a lot of bitter dry chocolate aroma. Super thin body with hardly any carbonation, weak. Very light bitter chocolate malt flavor. I knew this beer started off to good to last, reminded me of a porter light. VitaminR (443), Colorado, USA

Pours deep mahogany with a medium, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is softly roasted, light chocolate and a herbal touch. Light carbonation, okay mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly roasted, fine balance, nice chocolate. Quite stout-ish. Blom (514), Odense, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 20, 2008 Black with a brown head. Sweet malty aroma and flavours of chocolate, spice and roasted malts. It ends on a salty note, so perhaps the seaweed it present there - otherwise I can’t detect it. A fine brew, nevertheless!

Similar flavour, malty sweet base with light earthy notes. Smooth fuller than average palate is very lightly carbonated. (3+) Pleasant, but a bit too mild overall for me.

Very dark brown color with a beige/tan head that flattened immediately. A bit thin with very mild carbonation. Flavor is something like a mild stout. It has dark roasted malt with some chocolate. Arguably coffee as well. Quite smooth. Finish is toasted malt bitter. Very good. Not sure about the seabreeze. Or the weed. daniele (1750), Italy
