I was surprised with what I found. Aroma of bitter chocolate and coffee, dark roasted malts. Poured a black coffee colore with a thin creamy tan head. Taste was definitely unique, the aforementioned but with a tinge saltiness. Palate was good, thin and watery just enough texture though. Overall a different experience that more should have.

Then low and behold it came in my beer of the month club package this month. Nose of chocolate and malts. Pours quite dark brown, with little to no head. Flavor even more malty, with a nice chocolate undertone resembling a chocolate soda almost. SoLan (1426), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jul 4, 2005 This beer smells a little like kelp, fortuantely, there’s not kelp in it. This was a flavorful beer, a little sweet. Not one that will be my favorite. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 19, 2005 Looks like a porter and has a sweet, nutmeg-chocolate aroma; low carbonation and diminishing head; mild, roasted, bittersweet cocoa flavor over a smooth, slightly salty palate, finishes a tad dry; where’s the seaweed?

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Jun 13, 2005 Forth Brewery has a way of making something great out of something one would think to be atrocious. The bottom line is that seaweed does not dominate this drink but rather is subliminalized to provide a unique flavor to the beverage. Chocolate elements are even more strongly present and lead to an excellent malty finish -- with just the right touch of maritime element.
