Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a black color with a large fluffy brown head that left incredible lacing. The aroma was sweetish with anise, toasty malts, dark fruit and cocoa. The flavor was sweet and tangy with notes of raisin, anise, floral hops, dark fruit and cocoa. Very long finish. Full bodied and smooth. Outstanding!
