Black color, the head disappears quickly. Mild aroma, chocolate and dark caramel. Lean body, drier than expected, chocolately, with some leather; I wouldn’t think of liquorice.
Not bad.

Bottle - Dark roast and nice subtle licorice. Deep jet brown with a light brown head. Dark roasty notes, touch of cocoa and not much licorice. Decent.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Nose brings out notes of roasted malt, some light licorice and burnt coffee. Flavour is quite smooth, with notes of burnt roasted malt, some coffee and a low-to-moderate black licorice. Smooth palate, with a good balance and no harsh elements whatsoever. Solid stuff.

650 ml bottle. Pour black with light tan head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of oily coffee and light roasted malts. Flavors of ash/chalk, dry black licorice, dry roasted malts and flat cola. Nicely made but nothing special relative to what’s now available.

355ml bottle from 2015 Craft Beer Advent Calendar. Pours an opaque black with an average, short lived, brown head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate and a faint coffee note. Sweet flavour of licorice, roasted malt and dark chocolate with a mildly bitter, coffee finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Exceeded my expectations.

Pours with a dark brown head, which dissipated quickly though. High on carbonation. The liqorice is definitely subtle, it's buried in the background behind the roastiness for sure. I would like a little more body for a high alcohol beer as well. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
