Aug 6, 2005 Half pint pulled at the Great British Beer Festival, a dark brown with thin head. Aroma is strong of the roasted coffee malt, which is replicated in the flavouring. Smooth in the mouth with a bitter finish.

Jun 20, 2005 Quite the Guinness clone. Some ashy notes of roasted bittersweet chocolate. Virtually no sweetness, a drying finish, somewhat astringent. Nice palate from the bottle conditioning, a refreshing departure from the trend of nitro-widget bottling. A recommended choice when one wants a nice, non-nitro’d authentic dry stout. Reddish, almost purplish tinged brown to opaque black. Foaming stiff head.

Jun 15, 2005 Bottle. Poured dark brown with huge foamy tan head. This head had peaks and valleys like a home whipped cream! Nose was roasted malts, chocolate and yeast, (bottle conditioned). The taste was sour, then sweet and with lots of roasted flavors. Then sour after taste. Had a little too much carbination for my tastes.

May 2, 2005 Black with a thin tan head. Aromas of dark coffee and fruit. Bitter chocolate flavors along with some roasted nuts. Thin palate was off-putting. Seemed to suffer from watery British beer syndrome.
