Aug 27, 2008 Botella. Black with red top tones and a good lasting light brown creamish head. Nice soft roasty maltiness with chocolate in the aroma. Quite good a mouthfeel. The flavour has a good soft but profound roasty maltiness and caramel with a pleasant mild bitterness, and chocolate. Roasty dry finish. Tasty brew indeed.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle from Ricoh Tossco. Dark ruby silk capped with beige. Ravishing thick bonfire snout dragging in espresso, chocolate, vegetables(?), mildewy old books, hazelnut and smoke. Brimstone and blackcurrant. Uncomplicated coffee, cocoa and charcoal mouth. A beer redefining my perception of malt, and the depth of flavours that can be conjured from that alone. Chalky, burnt, earthy and smooth. Who needs hops?

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle that I picked up from Westholme Londis, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at Cropredy Festival 2008 Pours dark brown with a light beige head. Quit bizarrely I get sausage and chocolate on the nose? Interesting combination but strangely one that works quite well. Chocolate and a thin sasparilla taste, carbonation is soft, in short this is a nice beer.
