Draft...poured amber w/smallish head. A very odd tasting amber, I really couldn’t palce it. Not a lot of hops or carbonation.

Bottle. Syrup and a hint of licorice in the aroma. Sweet, slightly hopbitter flavor with maple syrup. Licorice in the nutty aftertaste. I’m not very impressed, but this beer is certainly not bad.
