| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 18, 2004 Bottled @ DBF2004: Dark brown coloured. Beige lasting head. Coffee, roastyness and chocolate in the aroma. Coffee and cocoa in the flavour. Nice bitterness in the end, that has an edge of seaweed to it. Nice one.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 13, 2004 Dark brown almost black in color. Roasted coffee overtones with choclate undertones. Not really bitter at all, but still enjoyable. When it warms the seaweed flavor can be found in the after taste. Bov (5514), Bienne, Switzerland

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 29, 2004 Dark brown color. Medium tan head. Aroma is choclately. A medium bodied traditional ale. Malts are roasty and choclately. No hop flavors, they are there (I guess) but are very mild. Mostly it malt and musk. Very smooth tasting. There is seaweed added to the mash tun, but if its there I can’t taste any. Taste is more like a robust porter or stout. Nice clean dry finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a touch of bitter aftertaste after the aftertaste. obxdude10 (1563), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 20, 2004 Just about black in color, huge tan head with nice lacing, some hints of chocolate in the nose, a bit thin in the mouthfeel, faint chocolate in the flavors & finish as well, also a bit thin there, didn't get that aroma of fresh seabreeze that I was promised, I was kinda looking forward to that & was let down a bit, not like you can get a beer to smell like the shore anyway, but still, it was false advertising

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Apr 2, 2004 Bottle. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Just goes to prove, don't let the name fool you as I was anticipating not liking this one even before it was opened. It poured a medium sized tan head that was creamy and contained fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The body was mostly opaque with very little carbonation detected and the hue was dark brown. The aroma of this beer was malty, sweet and chocolate. The flavor was malty, caramel and chocolate flavors. The mouthfeel was smooth and the lacing was fair. Worth a try.
