Bottle, 75cl corked, at the brewpub. A slow gusher, resulting in a dark, dark brown beer with a finger-thick, dense, light tan head leaving lacings. It’s quite roasted on the nose, with licorice, coffee and dark chocolate. The flavor is less roasted, quite sweet but far from cloying, there’s coffee, dark chocolate, some fennel seed and a salty licorice touch that lasts. Long finish. Full body with a tad much carbonation. Overall, really nice, but a bit sweeter than I prefer. 140525
