Dubbel		22 Apr 2009	Slightly better at a cooler temperature but still not amazing. Earthy qualities, cola sweetness and random bush herby notes. Something different though, which is what I want from an international brew.

Andrew		17 Apr 2009	This is a mild surely? Anyway, mild or porter it wasn't very good. Tart, low hoping, black, milky sick and smells bad.

Dubbel		15 Apr 2009	Aussie ale, black with a nettle soup aroma and rich stout-like oatiness. Only the late discreet dark fruits (raisins) made it feel portery. Very nice but would like to try it again a little cooler through a beer engine.

Ian		14 Apr 2009	Black, very dark brown. Lasting thick cream head. Certainly a pretty looking beer. Really quite a tasty toasted roast malt beer. Yes not perfect and maybe not showy but I like this over soemthing like Guinness. Has elements of a dry Irish stout. Yes some dark dark fruit in there some milk choc and this dry powder charcoal edge. Some creamy ness in mouth. Yes pretty good.
