Jun 13, 2007 Has a very interesting aroma - malty and also salty. (Well, it is made with seaweed!) Beautiful deep, nearly opaque brown with a thick, tan head. Flavor is superb - rich, malty, with some sea tang and a hint of molasses. The finish is a little watery, but overall this is a very pleasant ale, smooth and distinctive.

Jun 7, 2007 Rich porter base, roasty chocolate flavors. Slight metallic flavor in the finish. I don’t get the sea flavors, maybe a faint saltiness, but overall just tastes like a nice porter.

Jun 3, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2008My girlfriend picked this out at Knightly Spirits simply because it piqued both of our curiosities. SoLan at KS said to expect a chocolatey taste. Didn’t get that as much as I expected, in fact I didn’t really enjoy this one much overall. The aroma was offputting, but I powered through it and downed a few sips. It was hard to finish. Not terrible, but not that great either.

May 25, 2007 500ml brown bottle from Ron’s in Farmington. Dark brown/black opaque body with a quarter inch of light tan head. Smells chocolatey more than anything. Tastes like roasty chocolate with kind of an odd flavor I can’t put my finger on with a bit of astringency. On the heavier side of medium-bodied. Tasty and complex, but not something I’d want everyday. Definitely glad I tried it though.

500ml bottle from Martins Liquor
Pours a dark brown cola color with a light beige head that quicky dissapates. Nose tingels with fine typical scottish malts. Mid-full flavor taste with a nutty brown ale hint at well as a chocolaty malt backbone. The flavor of seaweed escaped me, however dont think I ever had it to compare or notice it.
Look for the next 363 beers and for the entire diary on my BeerMagnets website

May 20, 2007 I thought this was a decent beer. It poured light brown and had very light notes of anise oin the nose. The mouthfeel was heavier in chocolate and licorice but I did not really feel any seaweed. Not a bad beer.
