[Draught at the brewpub] Intransparently black. small white head. Licorice aroma. Sweetish with clean mouthfeel. Aniseed and licorice dominate, behind lurks fruit and coffee as well as caramel and pine. Lightly salty finish with medium bitterness. The malt character is way too hard to make it really enjoyable.

[Draught at the brewpub (listed as 5.8%, as opposed to the bottles that were listed at 4.6%)] Cloudy golden, brief creamy head. Phenolic banana aroma. Medium sweet with striking estery, cloveymedicinal notes. The soft mouthfeel makes it a pleasure to drink, so despite it’s unusually medicinal character it remains very refreshing.

[Draught at the brewpub] Cloudy golden, small head. Dominated by caramelly crystal malt with a kiss of hay-like hops. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Rather straight forward.
