Nov 21, 2008 Wow, I had this beer and can’t believe I forgot to rate it. My thoughts were that this was more of a normal stout, nothing too exciting other than the enticement that there is seaweed in the beer which is something different. There really isn’t anything odd about the beer other than I found there to be a fairly strong medicinal flavor, which was unpleasant. Not extremely great, nothing terribly appealing about this beer, it was only semi-drikable to me.

Oct 29, 2008 Bottle from Centra, Oslo.
Dark ruby, not very strong aroma. MAlt, tar, quite fruity. Coffe, boiled sweets. I don’t know if I can distinguish any seaweed here, but it is a nice beer nevertheless.

Oct 18, 2008 This is an interesting and a pleasant surprise. Dark, dark pour. Tan head. Aroma is a bit smoky, chocolate, nuts, and nice. Flavor is smoky, sweet-tart, with some slight hints of coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is a tad thin. but I liked this beer.

Oct 17, 2008 500 ml bottle. Tanned, big bubbled medium-sized head. Dark brown, almost opaque, ruby hued body. Cocoa and milk-chocolate aroma. Some nutty, almost cheesy scents. Light sour-sweet malt flavor. Also some mild spices and chocolate. Low on the hops. Medium body. A faint bitterness in a sour-malty ending. Does not stand out, but goes well down.

Oct 11, 2008 Huge brown-beige lasting head. Deep dark red barely translucent body. Roasty milky chocolatey aroma with earthy coffee notes. Sweetish mild salty earthy milky coffee and chocolate taste, balanced and harmonic. Mid-bodied. Dry roasty papery coffee aftertaste with floral notes. Nice, and unusual. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)

Sep 22, 2008 Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has a salty, nori-esque tinge to it, but nothing special. I found it to be fairly weak. The flavor is pretty much non-existent, though I did note some chocolate in there on the finish, which doesn’t last long. I would recommend drinking this one at room temperature, as the flavor started to come out some more as it warmed up. The mouthfeel is nice, though... very creamy and full. Not nearly as interesting a beer as I was hoping. There’s subtle, and then there’s invisible. This one falls under the latter category.

Sep 20, 2008 Updated: Jul 24, 2009Very deep dark ale with a nice head. The fist whiff smelled of roasted malts and chocolate, very chocolately aroma. Second whiff was more sweet, peppary with a little bit of fruit involved as well. Upon tasting it, I was very surprised. I could tell no seaweed, though I thought it was a little smokey and salty giving it a nice complexity. Of course, the roasted malts also showed themselves nicely beside the chocolate. Actually, a rather nice brew...anything but disappointing.
