| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Bottle brought back to Norway from the Easter crusade to Alko in Hätta, Finland and shared with my beer companions and fellow historians Konstantin, Rune and Stefan 29.apr.09. We (obviously) all loved the bottle and label. Aroma of malt and chocolate cookies. Quite dry in the mouth and surprisingly thin. Yeast, spruce and malt flavour. Coffee-like finish.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 20, 2009 From Premiere Gourmet. Good example of English sublety, nothing too bold just the balance of a little roast, a little Shwartzbier black, a bit above mouthfeel, a bit of licorice as in a porter. Pours black, nothing harsh, delightful with a meal. djd07 (751), Houston, Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Bottle: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a thin, wispy-lacing tan head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel and biscuity malts with a touch of piny English hops. Starts with decent fullness and sweet sugary maltiness with a hint of lingering roast and fresh coffee. A pretty decent stout, but would be better without the sugary character. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England
