Much more chocolatey than before and less spicy. Which is great! Almost something a bit chocolate orange about it

Tap at the brewery. Valentine's Day beer, a black ale (porter) with vanilla and start anise added. Rich chocolate nose, vanilla and light anise too. Chewy, nicely sweet flavor with rich chocolate and good balance. Not over done with spice or sweetness. Lightly roasty, good chocolate flavor from the malts.
