Sampled on draft this beer poured a black color with a medium sized dark brown head that left great lacing. The aroma was roasty malts, chocolate, anise and floral hops. The flavor was roasty malts, a hint of red meat, chocolate, anise, a bit of dark fruit, light vanilla and floral hops. Very long finish. Full bodied.
