| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Aug 21, 2007 Bottle. Pours an attractive dark brown with a thin light brown head. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, a whiff of smoke and wet hay. Some malt, milk chocolate and salt on the palate. A tad watery and thin. Inoffensive. Beershine (2754), Traipsing Around, Cambodia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 20, 2007 Odd, a tad salty as it should be. Many of the flavors in Heather Ales offerings are new to me. This is a dark, mild beer with little bitterness. Enjoyable. shrubber85 (2934), Wallhalben, Germany
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Bottle. Sour milk malt aroma. Dark brown with a small head. Slightly sour milk, brown sugar and malt flavor - very much like a porter. Possibly a hint of saline in the finish. Seaweed in the name made me think there might be some characteristics like in Islay Scotch but it really didn’t but was still an enjoyable brew. harrisoni (6830), Ashford, Kent, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Cask handpull at Fat Cat, Norwich. Black, lasting beige head. That is an arresting beer. Liquorice stout aroma. Good condition, distinctive spicyness on finish. It’s a slightly sour, liquorice stout with a dry spicy finish. No real saltiness. Fine and definitely interesting.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 16, 2007 A black beer. It has some smoke and even some peat, which I didn’t expect. No hop presence, and perhaps it doesn’t have any. Light smoke in the flavor with some pine. I don’t perceive any seaweed or any other ocean-related character, but this is a solid beer.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2007 This is an interesting brew. Sampled at joebrew’s Friday evening beer tasting at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a hazy dark brown brew with a light tan head that slowly dissolves to a fine film and good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, smoky licorice, milk chocolate and a touch of salt. Taste is smooth, creamy, medium bodied, with slight chocolate aftertaste. Finish is smooth, creamy and then a lingering smoke aftertaste.
