Musta olut pienellä pitsiä jättävällä vaahdolla. Lakritsainen ja makea, yskänlääkemäine tuoksu. Maku kuivempi ja karkeampi. Kevyt, kitkerä ja ohut. Heikko.

A very dark brown, a head is small and beige. Aroma has strong anise, other spices, sweet caramel. Taste has spices, some roastiness, anise, some bitterness after beginning, but it’s too harsh. Light bodied, the spices would needed stronger maltyness. Aroama is quite nice mix of spices but the taste is too tight. Tasteful anise.

Bottled (from Prisma, Vaasa). Black colour, mediumsized brown creamy head. Aroma is liquorice, star anise, some cardamom and mild chocolaty notes. Flavour is roasted malts, chocolate, some ashy notes as well as some bitter fruitiness and mild cardamom notes. The star anise kicks in in the aftertaste, creating a somewhat strange bitterness together with the bitter orange. Surprisingly good spice bomb.
