(Cask at GBBF, London, 8 Aug 2007) Black colour with brief pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with lots of chocolate. Roasted, malty taste with notes of chocolate, dark fruit, caramel and a nice cocoa bitterness in the finish. Balanced fruity sweetness mingles well with roasted malt all the way. Very nice, mellow but still powerfull porterish strong mild.

Bottle, 75cl corked, thx to Enjoyit. While last bottle was a good one, this had done some effort to be undrinkable. It looked nice, a dark brown beer, almost clear, with a small, tan to beige head. Quite oily pour. The aroma was the best part, but for someone disliking oxidation, it wouldn’t be nice at all. The beer was roasted, but an oxidized, almost sherry-like aroma dominated. In the mouth it felt more sour than oxidized, but the oxidation was very evident, leaving some roasted flavors in the background. Full-bodied and unfortunately slightly astringent. Yes, it’s drinkable, but the bottle I tried last time was a completely different story. Too bad. Rating: 6-4-4-3-9-2.8. Leaving my old rating as the valid one.
Bottled, 75cl with champagne cork. A clear-looking dark reddish brown beer with a nice tan head. It has lots of chocolate and cocoa in the aroma, as well as roasted malt. Some sourness, roasted malt and some dark chocolate and burnt notes in the flavor. Dusty, dryish mouthfeel, but a bit too watery. The beer starts very good, the aroma can be enjoyed for a long time, but sadly it’s downwards from there. A quite nice beer anyway. (070213)

Bottle, 6.2%. Roasted aroma, a bit sweet. Almost black colour, a little muddy. The flavour is a little sour and has some of the cardboard notes I usually associate with certain homebrewed beers.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of kook. Pours a clear, dark mahogany with a small, beige head. Vaguely burned, coffeeish aroma. Medium body with a slightly tart, vinous touch with dry, hard roasted malty accents and some dried fruit. A dry bitterness in the finish. 210906

Bottled at RBESG. Black, small brief head. Almost still. Rich coffee aroma. Dry with gentle, rounded, soothing mouthfeel. Very roasty, yet soothing. Some chocolate. Mild, unusual and very enjoyable.

A black beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with notes of chocolate, and so is the flavor with a dry roasted end. The body is thin, which surprises me. Nice Mild.
