Feb 29, 2008 this poured a whole lot darker than i expected... very dark brown with red highlights and a soft light tan head. aroma is full of smoke, malt, chocolate, earthiness and, if i think hard enough, fresh seaweed. the flavor has a definite earthy saltiness to it but i don’t taste the seaweed... there’s chocolate, malt and a sourness from smoke. light to medium bodied and texture. smokiness and acidity linger a bit in the aftertaste. i want more seaweed flavor!

Feb 29, 2008 Aroma is hot cocoa, and some roasted smoke ,some cremey caramel also present, Taste is completely different, dominated by an almost harsh type of bitterness, this must be the sea salt and bladderwack , reminds me of chicory, like coffee with unsweetened bitter chocolate in it, I was actyually getting use to that by the end of the glass. an aquired taste

Feb 21, 2008 Cask conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 21/2/08. Near black in colour with a reddish tinge and a slight tan head. Aroma of roasted malt. dark chocolate and the seaside. Flavour started with a touch of sweetness, before some bitter chocolate and a slightly salty, bitter finish. Very good.

Feb 8, 2008 from 99 bottles, federal way, washington.
pour is dark with a little red tint, small creamy tan head, very nice lacing.
smell is of malt, cocoa, some sweetness, and a little roastiness.
taste is chocolate, roasted nuts, a little bitter, come creaminess to it also.
overall a nice complex brew, well balanced, similar to a stout but with a interesting aftertaste and kick.

Feb 3, 2008 What a pleasant suprise. I had not expected something like this when I pulled the bottle from my shelf. I’ve had one or two of this brewers other ales and they were....well, let’s just say I wouldn’t get them again. But this...very nice. A best before date of May ’08. Pours out a dark chocolate brown, a nice one-finger cap with some nice staying power. Aroma is briney, slightly smokey, a touch of roast and some undefineable sweet malts. Flavors were fairly spot on with the nose. Salty, roasty, smokey, malty and somehow it all works. Easy to drink with a very clean finish.

Feb 2, 2008 The name and aroma lead you to expect a heavy scottish ale. Poured dark brown. Heavy malted scent. Very mild taste, well balanced mocha and maltiness. Slight bitterness, clean finish.

Jan 31, 2008 Bottle: Poured a real dark brown almost black color with a thin light brown head. Scent is of malt and chocolate. Slight bitter taste that easily goes away to leave almost zero aftertaste. A very pleasant brew.

Jan 21, 2008 From bottle : Pours very dark color with little to no head, but a little ring of foam around the glass. Big time roasted malt nose. Flavor is a little more watered down then i was expecting. Some malt flavor, with hints of roastedness, but on the tail end, all flavor just fades away to wateryville. I think i can taste a tad bit of seaweed type flavor, if i close my eyes and think about it real hard. Thin to medium body, with a watery palate. Have to admit i was expecting more, even from something named Seaweed Ale.
