Français: Olfactif dominé par la mélasse avec accents de fruits noirs et quelques épices. Un col de mousse moka s’attarde sur un liquide brun aux reflets rubis, plutôt limpide et avec une bonne effervescence. Mélasse et fruits noirs accaparent l’entrée de bouche, soutenu par un alcool épicé et enveloppant. Avec peu d’amertume, cette bière se concentre surtout dans les sucres de fruits noirs, soutenue par une effervescence vive, le tout dans un corps moyennement léger. English: Olfactive dominated by molasses with black fruit accents and some spices. A collar of mocha foam lingers on a brown liquid with ruby reflections, rather clear and with a good effervescence. Molasses and black fruits grab the mouth, supported by a spicy and enveloping alcohol. With little bitterness, this beer is concentrated mainly in black fruit sugars, supported by a lively effervescence, all in a moderately light body.

Bottle pour from Colonial Spirits, Acton. Appearance is clear dark brown (like root beer/cola), no sparkle, thin ring of beige head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong, rich brown bread. Taste is even stronger rich brown bread. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, lacking in complexity but a good representative of the style and good strength.

500 ml bottle shared by tfontana, thanks Tom. Aroma is mild coriander, caramel, dark bread, toffee. Flavor is a direct reflection of the aroma. Ends on a slight earthy malt and mild spice. I appreciate this beer for what it is.

Pours a clean deep brown with a thin off-white head that recedes quite quickly, leaving just the slightest hint of lacing. Reasonably intense aroma has a biscuity malt base, followed by dried fruit (especially plum), liquorice and spicy notes of mainly anise. Taste is quite complex. A solid malty base of mainly biscuit and slight caramel, liquorice, a bit of warming alcohol presence, dried fruit notes as per aroma though slightly subdued, anise. Overall sweet but not at all over the top. Finish is semi-sweet with a surpising note of coffee, while the aftertaste leaves a spicy reminiscence. Medium bodied (actually very light for the abv) with very light carbonation. The beer is overall very smooth and could go down quite quickly, which gets a bit in the way of its complex and slightly warming character. Feels like there's not enough body to match the beer character. The beer was overall interesting and i did enjoy it, my main concern was with the lack of body. May try again in the future to see if something was wrong with this bottle. Edit, november 2021: tried again. Impressions confirmed. A beer with character and depth, but with a strangely light body. Somehow doesn't feel for me.

Malt, brown sugar, peach and licorice in the aroma. Full bodied, thick and oily. Very sweet and low on carbon. Loads of licorice in the flavor, with some malt. Very tasty, but I miss finess in this beer. Licorice rules, and not very much else.
