Sep 8, 2006 Pours a nice black color with a small tan head. Taste and smell is of a very smooth chocolate taste. It almost tasted like I was having a chocolate milk shake, but with alcohol. It was really smooth and enjoyable, but nothing to jump and shout about.

Sep 6, 2006 Very dark brown, with ruby highlights; fine, dense tan head;:bread, cream, plum and black toffee aroma; sweetish taste with liquorice, black toffee, raisin and nut:aromas; bitter finish with burnt, espresso and liquorice aromas.
Quite a bit better than I expected of a pasteurised beer. Especially the burnt dry finish. Slightly akin to sucking a used match (but much nicer, obviously). Plus a load of malt flavours in the mouth. A beer I would happily drink again. If the brewery weren’t closing. 69 out of 100 on my scale.

Aug 29, 2006 Beatiful appearance - pours a velvety, swede head that stays put until you chose to drink it. It’s liek pudding, really. The liquid looks liek coffee, not rich, just dark. I don’t find it to be as tasty as Double Chocolate, but it has a heartier flavor and lives up to the standards of Young’s. Palate is oddly watery, though.

Aug 27, 2006 500ml. bottle. Almost as good as their Double Chololate. I know this isn’t a dry stout but it’s better than murphy’s and beamish, but still not better than G.

Aug 26, 2006 Draught at the King’s Arms, Oxford. Slightly astringent brew on the hot day that i tried to enjoy it. Vanilla, oatmeal, and roasted malt evident in this, some ice cream sweetness. Too one-dimensional to satisfy as stout. It’s smooth, for sure, but it’s also a bit bland.

Aug 9, 2006 Bottle. Rich, light-brown foam. Quite as black as a colour can get. The aroma is something truly special: bbq, fire and sweet chocolate. Strange stuff. The beer tastes bittersweet and has a damp finish. Thick and creamy palate. This beer does not get more than 10/20 since it’s a bit too bitter for my taste.

Aug 8, 2006 Looks black unless you put the light dirctly behind it, making it a dark maroon. Nice thick head, almost like a rootbeer float. Has a great sweet aroma, and creamy flavor. Is onr of the smoothest beers I have had.
