Slightly sweet in the mouth with some saltiness in the finish. Other than the saltiness which isnt out of place here the seaweed wasnt really noticeable.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Mar 6, 2007 12 oz bottle. Best before 8-06. Clear brown with an active, but quick settling, mocha head. Coffee with faint licorice candy. Taste is stale coffee and watery bourbon stout. Finishes with light touches of radish, spinach, molasses and soy. Soft carb, thinnish body. faroeviking (6107), BjórtjóðveldiðBjórheimBjórsins, Faroe Islands
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Bottle. Dark red-brown colour. Aroma of good roasty malt and chocolate. Flavour is soft and smooth, sweet with a nice roasty maltiness and chocolate. Dry roasty finish. Tastes more like a porter than an ale. yngwie (4974), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 28, 2007 Updated: May 25, 2009Bottle. Deep brown, clear beer with a beige head. Roasted, coffee-like aroma with a weak fruityness. The flavor is a bit weak, with roasted malt and hints of fruityness. A bit thin body. A surprise from Heather Ales, nice aroma but a bit boring flavor. Rating: 6-4-6-3-12-3.1. (070216)
Bottle. It pours an almost headless, unclear, dark brown body. Just a few beige bubbles round the rim. Roasted, coffeeish nose with some dried fruits. A little sour touch too. Almost powdery in the mouth, medium body-fullness. Roasted, coffeeish flavor with some chocolate and a fruity hint. Not much bitterness found, but some roasted bitterness is present. The finish is more on the chocolate side than on the coffee side. Quite nice, but a bit ordinary. (090525) joebrew (608), Farewell Minny; Hello Puyallup, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 10, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a medium tan head. Nice sweet chocolate, raisen, and dark fruit nose. The flavor is nice and toasty with a great bittersweet chocolate, a little grassiness, and some coffee as well. A little watery, but quite tasty. Rune (2841), Tromsø, Norway

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 6, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark brown, with a tan frothy head, some lace. Aroma of malt and botanicals (coriander?) and chocolate / espresso. Mouth is malty and chocolatey, some salt. Lasts well in the palate and is balanced and easy to drink. Rather nice. andyhite (293), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 5, 2007 16.9oz bottle. pours with a minimal bubbly head w/a tan tint and no sustain. ruby brown hue to the beer. aromas of tart and sour fruits, and only mild hints of hop and malts; more yeasty than anything. tastes a bit like newcastle, but with a little bit of flavor. i noticed a touch of salt, and - as the beer warmed, there was a mild hop character as well. smoother finish, but a naked palate. it’s taste is a bit oceanic, but there isn’t much else there. still feels and tastes a little thin.
