| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 9, 2004 Probably, the most “usual” from Historic ales, but, nevertheless, original and unforgettable. Dark, roasty and sweetish, like a weak porter, with nice salty caramelly aftertaste. JensenTaster (1587), Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 6, 2004 (on bottle)"A traditional ale"? Excuse me, but aint nothing traditional about seaweeds in my beer. This is probaly the beer with the most fullness to it, I´ve ever had, considering the mere 4,4%. Pitchblack with a green-brown shade.It has loads og liqurice in the nose and mouth, but mixed with any food, there apeares some herb-notes witch I only can discrbe as "seaweed". Fresh, minimal hoppy ending makes me take another sip. KAggie97 (2469), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jul 19, 2004 Bottled. I had no idea what to expect with this one... Was it going to be like drinking a sushi plate or what? Well, I am pleasantly surprised with how good this tastes (and how little the seaweed comes into play, evidently). This little beauty is a mild chocolate offering that can either be savored slowly or, perhaps, as a session beer. It’s that versatile. I recommend this one, if for nothing other than you can say you drank seaweed. What a world! obisbeer (558), Barcelona, Spain
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 19, 2004 Very dark, amber brown, almost night like with little or no head. Charcoal, burnt sugar, salt air. Molasses, with sour aromas. Soft mouthfeel, light on the palate, water like feel with little carbonation. Toast, light salt liquorice and an earthy greeness...Fun beer, very enjoable. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 17, 2004 Dark brown brew with a light tan head. Some roasty aromas, some chocolate too. The flavor is slightly bitter, not quite a Porter, but not a Brown Ale either. Not bad, but I failed to detect anything that would indicate any flavor or aroma coming from the seaweed.
