Bottled. A black beer witth a brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, tar, soy sauce, and tobaccon. The flavor is sweet wtih notes of malt, soy sauce, alcohol, and tobacco, leading to a dry roasted finish, that burns in the throat.

Bottle at Leighton’s Aug 11 tasting. It pours darkest brown, with a thin light tan head. The nose is varnish, meat, toasted sesame seed and HP sauce. The taste is caramel, varnish, toffee, toasted sesame seed, sour tang, soy sauce, roasted malt and malt vinegar, with a long, roasty finish. Full body and average carbonation. Unusual, but not unenjoyable.

Bottled (shared by tdtm82 at Stortford Beer fest, thanks Thomas!). Pitch black colour (or close to), mediumsized beige head. Aroma is liquorice, some roasted, toasted and malty notes. Flavour is roasted malts, liquorice, tobacco and some slight hoppy notes as well. Mild ashes in the finish. Atleast this bottle tasted more like an imperial stout than a barley wine...

Bottle from Pig’s Ear festival in London, 2008
Black color; small head. Aroma of cardboard, glue, paint, vanilla oak, liquorish; it may sound weird, but it’s interesting. Breadish beer, with strong liquorish flavor, chocolate malt, oxidised. A bit strange but interesting.
