Draft at Wolf on the Corner, Eastbourne. Poured almost black in colour with a lasting, thin, broken, off-white head. The aroma is roasty, herbal, light aromatic. The flavour is moderate to light liquorice bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, roasty, herbal, aromatic, light liquorice bitter paste. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nice, but didn’t really taste like a 10.5% beer and there was no sweetness to mask the alcohol.
