| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 17, 2003 Cask Conditioned, at the Hobgoblin, Holloway, London. Dark brown with a thin tan head. Delicately sweet, soft aroma. Some sweetness to start but turns into a super dry and bitter finisher. Everything in this beer has been scorched to death. The palate and mouth feel is thin, more like a mild then a stout. Sigmund (2287), Hafrsfjord, Norway
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 19, 2004 (500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark). Very dark reddish brown colour, moderate thick tan head. Moderate but pleasant roasted aroma, hints of tar and old woodwork. Flavour is all roasted malts, a bit thin mouthfeel compared to some other stouts, but refreshing. No masterpiece, but nice enough.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 19, 2003 Dark stout, low head. Aromas of the black malts. Real good flavor with hints of laqurice. A little to thin. Mads Langtved (2246), Copenhagen K, Denmark
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 8, 2004 Too expensive. Pretty boring. A red stout. I would rather call it a typical English Bitter. jazz88 (2237), San Francisco, California, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Nov 9, 2003 Bottle. Dark brown color as I could see a ruby tint through the middle of the glass. If I couldn't see the dark color I could have mistaken the aroma for a bad foreign lager. If I was generous I could say there was a malty nut aroma. How could a stout go so bad? bluevegie (2204), Perth, Australia
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 14, 2005 Clear black body with a minimal tan coloured head and some traces of lacing. Medium bitterness, medium body, thin feel, average carbonation,some rich chocolate notes also some liquorice. Not a real great stout although I gave it extra points cos it went down a treat. Better than a dark lager but not a real stout. GonZoBeeR (2162), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada
