Bottle at home ... BIG THANKS TO THE BREWER FOR THIS ONE ... Deep solid black big bubbly quite thick tan head that persists well ... big roast malts with a little liquorice in nose ... good rich body ... very soft and rich smooth roast malts up front with a little liquorice ... a little chocolate ... and no real noticable hop presence ... Its in the linger that the Liquorice realy shows as it leave exactly the same taste that lingers after eating liquorice allsots ...
