Arom is sweeter roasty malt, smokey burnt character, but mainly a small chocolaty sweetness. Taste is similar, with the hops nothing like as dominant as im used to from marble, just bittering. Lacking chocolate and body for me and the bittering hop is slighlty over done. fonefan (11888), VestJylland, Denmark

Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, chocolate - both milk and dark chocolate, licorice, ginger - peppery. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily - smooth, carbonation is flat. ;o)) (020508) MesandSim (5955), London, Greater London, England

Not quite so good but it’s still Marble and it’s still well worth a purchase. Black and tan looks. Bitter dark chocolate, roasty malt and dry on the palate. A little thin in the mouth sadly but another quality brew from one of my English favourites. downender (2634), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 27, 2006 Kent Beer Fest. Rich, dark and chocolately. Smooth with a good hop twist on the swallow. Mmm. Mine was a stout more than a strong ale. Fin (3473), Merton, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 10, 2006 Cask at Merton Beer Festival July 7th, 8th 2006. Deep, deep brown with barely the faintest trace of a head. Whiff of dark chocolate on the nose and immediately on that initial taste. A sticky beer that coats envelopes your taste buds with its cocoa qualities, nicely bitter and sweet and very drinkable for its strength.
