Tap at the brewery - black pour, somewhat viscous, minimal head - nose of anise, raisin, milk chocolate - slick mouthfeel, but a fairly thin body for the abv - bittersweet chocolate is most prevalent in the flavor, with some notes of licorice - nothing terribly complex, but what is there is balanced and fairly tasty - a little heat from the alcohol, but it is fairly well-masked, considering the thinness of the body - a nice attempt.
