Can consumed at Truck Festival, Steventon, Oxon, Saturday 19th July 2014 Pours like cola with a rapidly diminishing tan head, just a few stray bubbles remain. Quite chocolatey, liquoricey in fact very liquoricey. Coats the tongue and roof of mouth with a light chocolate sheen. Loz gets the star anise more than me. Hoppy beneath the roastiness and chocolate. Good. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Can from Cornelius. Dark brown body with a thin beige head that fades almost instantly. No lacing. Aroma of paper, onion, fig and first aid kit. Flavour of apple, tangy plum, herbs, liquorice and Coca-Cola. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Unusual, not the nicest...

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours dark brown with a thick tan head. Aromas are liquorice and dark chocolate. Taste brings more liquorice and roasted coffee bitterness. Rich mouthfeel, medium body, bitter finish. Good.

From a pint can shared on boxing day. Pours black with a tan head. Smoky coffee nose. Flavors of licorice and anise. Medium bodied, low carbonation and a bitter sweet roasty finish.

On tap @ Crowbar. A deep dark black beer and the head is quickly gone. It had a lovely color when it stuck around though, deep dark brown in color. On the nose it's quite lovely to be honest. Really packed with dark, sweet flavors. Some boozy thing also, lots of dark Belgian chocolate, a ton of liquefied licorice, and even a little bit of vanilla! Oh yeah, it's a flavor bomb. Of dimensions may I add. As dark roasted as they come with a ton of dry 80%cocoa powder. Dammit. It's like chewing on a chocolate bar that has been added something slightly acidic and vanillaish. The licorice is just extreme to the max. Warming dark aftertaste that's refusing to let go. A thick and chewy mouthfeel with a prickling carbonation level. Lovely stuff 25.05.2013

24.05.2013, tap @ Crowbar:
Nice brown creamy head. Aroma is rich, lots of salty licorice, caramel, coffee, grass, dark sugar. Taste is dry, strong rawlicorice, grass, cocoa, coffee, dark berries. Longlasting bitterness, dry mouthfeel. Damn good heavy shit, but a small taster is more than enough.

Pretty damn good, actually. Pours black with mocha head and some lacing. Smells of heavy roast malt - very robust aromas of coffee as well. The anise flavours are light here but then again the last beer I had was basically a twizzler bomb. Palate finishes on the light side with a little bitterness. Soft carbonation. Creamy texture. Tall can from Strathcona Liquor in Victoria.

Deep dark brown body with a very large, slightly soapy milky brown head, about six centimetres tall. Aroma of raisins, malt, prunes, nuts, earth and a bit of metal. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavour with a lot of pit fruit and raisin sweetness, some metallic notes, a hint of milk and a little earthiness. Aftertaste shows a lot of peanuts, some earth, toffee, roasty bitterness and a little grapiness at the end. Overall, a fairly nice baltic porter, but perhaps a bit too much sweetness and not enough complexity throughout, with less of a focus on malt than others from the baltic region, like the gold standard: Zywiec. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-December-2012 for US$3.35 sampled at home in Washington on 17-February-2013.
