Nov 7, 2009 Poured a black hue with brown hints. Nose is pure chocolate. Mouthfeel is thinnish, with lotas of stout overtones coming through. A nice easy drinking beer. Don’t get much seawed though. Haha. Having lived in Japan for a few years i know what it smells and tastes like!

Nov 1, 2009 Pours very dark almost black chestnut brown color with mahogany edges when held to a light source and a 1.5 finger frothy tan head that quickly fades into a lasting ring. Minimal lacing.
Roasted chocolate aroma with some roasted malt, coffee, toffee, grape juice and sea salt.
Roasted malt flavor with hints of chocolate, roasted coffee and salty ocean water. I was afraid that the seaweed would be overly dominate but in fact it is a nice compliment to the other flavors and not overpowering at all. Hints of oatmeal and toffee accompany the roasted chocolate malty flavor.
Creamy and smooth up front with sweet chocolate center and a salty, spicy vegetable presence in the dry hoppy finish.

Oct 21, 2009 From the bottle this poured deep chocolate brown with burgundy tones, fluffy tan head that lasted about a minute. I smell chocolate first of all, and then seaweed, I guess, almost like spinach. It smells earthy and green. It tastes just a bit sour like a brown ale, a touch sweet with nice toasted bitterness. And then a slight residule kelpiness, really, like nori. The palate is a bit thin, but it’s also past best by date by a month. Expand your horizons and try some seaweed beer!

Oct 15, 2009 Sample at Brewnosers’ meeting April 2008. Brown colour with a fully diminishing off-white head. Chocolate, molasses, and earthy hop aroma. Lighter molasses flavour with a dry and light body belying its initial aroma. Not bad but punches below its weight beyond the aroma.

Oct 11, 2009 Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Very nice malty, earthy aroma. Yes I do believe I can smell the ocean. Flavor is rich with chocolate and malts. Velvet like feel and nicely dry. Good stuff.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Dark brown body with slight translucence and rocky head. Nose of roasted malts and chocolate. Malty and watery taste with slight chocolate. Similar to a porter. Can’t taste much seaweed though. A bit tart but only ever so slightly.
