Oct 1, 2004 Black in colour with a decent tan head. Standard stout aromas and it was very easy drinking considering the alcohol strength still I was expecting a lot more from this beer.

Aug 8, 2004 Bottled- - Very dark head, heavy coffee aroma. Very bitter and strong burnt malty flavors coming through, becoming stronger and more refined as the beer warmed, with a chocolate taste noticeable. A contender for my favorite stout. Must be consumed at close to room temperature to enjoy the full flavour of the beer. Great beer, highly recommended.

May 22, 2004 Bottle (longneck): Black with a brown rocky head that diminished fast. Nice aroma of coffee beans and bitter chocolate but developing very strong yeast (vegemite) character towards the end. The flavour followed this nicely, yet I was very dissapointed with the palate. A bit powdery and over carbonated. Would like to try it on tap though.

May 3, 2004 Bottled. 750ml long neck. On Sully’s sound advice I went back for this large bottle of super strength stout. Consumed at the end of and Australian Hotel sprint, city drink at the Establishment and an Elephant beer at the BBQ I must admit I was not taking my finest notes. What I do know is that I thoroughly enjoyed this beer (as did the Pom) and that it was dark brown with smooth caramel malt flavour. The strength was not discernable or at least not to me. The rest is a bit of a stretch. Many thanks to the Pom & Glor for he BBQ at their place.

Mar 23, 2004 Plenty of roasted malt in the aroma with a touch of sweetness and cocoa. Opaque dark brown colour with very thin, fully diminishing tan head. Very bitter roasted malts up front followed by a shy underlying sweetness before the return of the roasted malts and a lasting alcohol flavour in the finish. Alcohol flavour is somewhat more subdued at higher temperature and a bit more cocoa is apparent. Mouthfeel is a bit thin for style with some astringency in the finish. At 7.4% this sure packs a wallop. I disagree with the commercial description - to be port-like it would have to have more body and mouthfeel and be sweeter and more complex. This is a good very roasty and bitter stout. Bottle (bottle-conditioned). Thanks, mutant.
