Bottle. Man this is a thick beer. Black as used motor oil. Two finger head that quickly disappears and hardly any bubbles after. Taste and aroma are very strongly licorice. I love licorice but after the first glass it’s a little over the top. Nice beer though.

473ml can. As Ultradestroyer Imperial Licorice Stout. Pours an opaque black with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, licorice, anise, dark chocolate and molasses. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, anise, licorice, molasses and light coffee in a dry, bitter finish. Medium to full body with a sticky, creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Underrated. Delicious and ABV is well hidden. If you don't like black licorice, don't rate this beer. I'll never understand people who hate a certain adjunct, and then buy a beer with that adjunct clearly displayed in the name and rate the beer poorly because it tastes of said adjunct. Would like to see this barrel aged.

0.473 l can thanks to Marko who brought it from Prague. Shared with Ogi and him. Dark brown to black, small beige head. Aroma is licorice candy, star anise present, overwhelming, leaving only a roasty touch. Medium body, thick texture, sweet, toasty, roasty, some licorice, some sweetness. Alcohol hidden. No richness. Light finish.

Can from brother pictoman, shared with Ogivlado and Hrabren (huge thanks! Almost pitch black but mostly dark brown body, off-white head. Huge anise aroma, mixing with oily malty notes. Yeah, licorice and anise. Lean, dry taste, licorice, anice, roast and not much else, very watery, some dark malts help along though, interesting stuff , if flawed because of the dry bitter stuff.

1L bottle from the brewery at Alex's. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is lots of licorice, damn. Quite sweet. Taste is similar with roasted malt. Too licorice. Meh.

One of those ridiculous 32oz swing tops, pours an opaque black with a ring of white head. Nose is huge with that promised licorice, malt, not a whole lot else. Flavor has licorice, malt, some booze. Not much else. Full bodied, sweet and sticky. The only thing this mega destroyed was my palate.
