Martin the Mildman		25 Nov 2010	Second sample of this and still not convinced, lacking body with a rather thin mouthfeel. Some roast malt but little depth of flavour. My score 15/20.

Alenomore		28 Oct 2010	Not too bad. Would have given it a 5* rating if it was stronger and more roasted. The same beer that I've had in Europe, is far better than this version. I'm not impressed with some of these "guest" brewers using UK breweries to replicate there beers.

Ian		27 Oct 2010	Black, lasting dark beige head. It’s fine, some interesting almost meaty stout flavours. It’s okm but just a little lacking somewhere. Lacks intensity. OK. But disappointing. Not 5% ABV feel either, watery in mouth. Some choc on finish.

Martin the Mildman		23 Oct 2010	Fairly malty and sweetish stout but something wasn't quite there that I couldn't put my finger on. My score 15/20 - needs a retaste.
