| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 13, 2006 Bottle shared with blankboy, tupalev & HogTownHarry - HogTownHarry’s bottle. Deep ruby-brown - almost black - with a small head. Aroma of chocolate, roast malt, smoke and peat. Flavour is mellow and roasty with some sweet and earthy notes. Nice to finally try the last of the five Heather ales. oh6gdx (9104), Vasa, Finland
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 12, 2006 Bottled. Black/ruby red colour, small brownish head. Aroma is roasted malts, spices and coffee. Flavour is roasted malts, hops and coffee. Also some vegetably and salty notes. Maybe the latter ones are from the seaweed? TBone (6850), Pori, Finland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 10, 2006 Bottled (BB 10/2007).
Dark ruby color, small tan head. Smoked, brown sugar, coffeish aroma. A bit watery, roasted balanced malty, long roasted coffeish aftertaste. "Seaweed" is quite misleading, more like drinkable porter it is. gws57 (1148), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 9, 2006 Had this one bottled (Thanks Arnie!) Dark brown, opaque pour, with a slightly sweet maltiness in the nose and not much else, thick creamy mouthfeel, slightly smoky but not much going on in the taste, finishes clean but I didn’t get much out of this one. onystrom (800), Århus-Randers Crew, Denmark
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 9, 2006 Looks exactly like a Coca Cola! Or maybe a Pepsi ;-)
Smoked aroma and smoked and malty flavor and I don’t like it.... HogTownHarry (4025), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 5, 2006 Updated: Sep 6, 2006Bottle (500ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow andI tupalev, my bottle. Deep clear mahogany, small head. Sweet roast malt aroma, brown sugar, caramelized, bitter burnt finish - nice. Decent body, sticky and lightly carbonated - very pleasant, nice and roasty.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 1, 2006 Not bad. Very unique. Seaweed does give it a nautical twist, a bit like an Islay scotch. Fun to give to you friends and have them guess the secret ingredient. Arnie (272), Chicagoland, IL, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 27, 2006 Dark, purplish-brown pour, nearly an opague red. Thick, with hints of coffee and malts on the nose. Smooth, bock-like favor, thick and rich.
