Oct 6, 2009 Dark pour with amber hue off white head that quickly disappates sweet roasted and chocolate aroma and taste of roasted malts chocolate and bitter seaweed. A different taste with the bitter than sweet. It’s a keeper

Sep 22, 2009 500 ml bottle from the Boise co-op. Pours a deep black/red color with a thick beige head and lots of sticky lacing. The aroma is rich chocolates, smoke and yes...there is a faint sea smell- it’s light and would never be detected without being told that seaweed is in it- but it’s cool. The flavor is nice; a mix of chocolate, some zingy roasted elements, light vegetable notes. Not too bad, like a porter.

Sep 21, 2009 500ml bottle. Pours a black body with a finger-width, fizzy, brown head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is a light amount of deep roasts, dark chocolate malts, nutty butter, and some salty smoke. Flavor is sweeter chocolates and some deep roasts. Nuts and figs, a light acidity from the roasts, and a bit of coffee bitterness as well. Finishes dry and roasty with a medium aftertaste and a hint of salt. Thin and light bodied, clean, and easily quaffable. Overall, not a bad beer for such a low ABV. Good amount of chocolates and roasts make this pretty tasty and the light body makes it really drinkable. I don’t really know what seaweed adds to the mash, but maybe the slight salt flavor can be credited to that. Nonetheless, not bad at all.

Jul 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Light roasted and chocolate malt aroma with a nice cocoa like sweetness. The flavor is light and malty, with roast, dark chocolate, a touch of coffee, and a light bitter finish. A light body makes it very easy drinking. Very nice.

Jun 30, 2009 50cl Bottle brought from Scotland, thanks mom & Henk! Deep dark brown colour with a red hue, disappearing creamy beige head. Aroma of deep roasted malts, some nuttiness and chocolate. Flavour is sweet chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, light coffee bitter finish. Medium bodied, soft slightly oily mouthfeel. Well flavoured for such a light beer.

Jun 5, 2009 Dark, dark brown body, a faint red hue is produced when held up directly to the light, no head was produced during the poor and the beer unfortunately looks like it’s completely flat. Nuts and dark chocolate are at the for front of the aroma with faint dark fruits being detected, not to bad smelling but nothing special. Dark chocolate and roasted malts comprise the entire taste, is this seaweed flavoring just a gimmick? Flavor seems watered down and the mouth feel is very thin. Not worth the price I paid, drinkable but not impressed with this offering from the sea

Jun 1, 2009 Lots of chocolate in the aroma, and something "fresh". Pours nearly black with a thin tan head. Flavor is milk chocolate, some roasted malts and a little coffee. Mouthfeel is a little thin and watery with some soft carbonation. Very tasty and refreashing for such a drinkable dark ale.
