Ozzy pours pitch black with a tan head, giving off aromas of tonka beans and star anise. Upon your first mouthful you are met with big upfront hits of liquorice and aniseed, which then fades into notes of dark chocolate and vanilla. Ozzy has a smooth and soft level of carbonation which is accompanied on the way down by a hint of heat making sure you don’t forget it’s 11.0%. As you continue to drink Ozzy it becomes more and more morish.

Appearance is black, with a 1-finger brown mocha head. Aroma is chocolate, liquorice, star anise, coffee, dark malts, vanilla traces. Taste is coffee, chocolate, boozy fruitcake, treacle toffee, star anise, liquorice, Christmas pudding, cocoa, dark malts. Chocolatey finish, vanilla undertones. Pretty good, although a bit all over the place.

Tonka bean and star anise ‘pastry’ stout (also containing vanilla and cocoa apparently) from this craft brewery in Manchester, with a suspiciously familiar Flemish animal depicted on the can... Pale greyish beige, mousy, shred-lacing, stable head on a black beer with hazy mahogany edges. Aroma very strongly dominated by star anise indeed, followed by vanilla extract or vanilla flan, chocolate sauce, incense and paraffin, coffee cream, cappuccino, fresh bayleaf, dried juniper berries, gin, marzipan, burnt raisins. Sweet onset, dried fig, elderberry jam, light sourish edge, soft carb, full oily body; hard-caramelly, pecan-nutty and dark-chocolatey malt body with an elegant roasty touch even if sweetness remains dominant, also when the flavouring sets in at full force: star anise, tonka beans, bayleaf, tea; some spice astringency in the end (as expected) but it gets buffered by ongoing toffeeish malt sweetness, before coffee powder and a gin-like booze effect turn the whole thing a bit more to the dry side. Very aromatic in an unusual way, took a while to get used to, but given that luscious sweet malt core it can afford to have this amount of spicing, I think; for me it works, this was one of the revelations of an interesting tasting night.

Draft. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, vanilla, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of star anise, vanilla, coffee, roasted malt, with a bit of chocolate, leading to a bitter spicy finish. Too much.

Can from wander beyond online. Black colour with a tan head. Aroma is liquorice, aniseed and chocolate. Taste hints of burnt coffee and sweet vanilla. Boozy full body.
