Nov 11, 2006 Poured a deep black with a whispy whtie head, much like a porter. Had a salty, sea like smell, almost scotch whiskey like with just a hint of whiskey like fruit. Flavor has more roasted malt than I anticipated. Chocolate, grainy, malty, very nutty flavor. Finish is slightly oily and the nutty flavor stays on the palate.

Nov 10, 2006 500 mL bottle. Pours a nearly opaque dark ruby with big beige head. The aroma is quite malty with caramel and toffee notes, as well as a slight botanical hint. The flavor is impressively roasty, with toasty malt. And, surprisingly, I am able to taste the seaweed. Maybe it’s just because I know it’s there. It’s like a really mellow salty plant tone. Somehow it seems to fit well with the other flavors. The finish is slightly nutty. Pretty weird, but I think I actually like it.

Nov 8, 2006 Actually a silky, jet-black sweetly malty stout with some very mellow roasted bitterness. Only a hint of brine in the nose evokes anything seaweedy. Develops some smokiness as it warms. Lovely foody milky palate. Nothing like the hideous novelty I was hoping for.

Nov 7, 2006 Didn’t know what I was expecting with this, surprisingly I got a very good at what it is. The body is a very thin through out the entire beer and there a notice array of chocolate, the seaweed that they mention is very mild and subtle. still, I am quite surprised
