Comment:

from crackedkettle.com - almost opaque black colour with a firm persistent dark beige foam; nice lace leaved on the side of the glass; the aroma is charming and robust showing notes of licorice along with roasted malts and dark chocolate; fair hop presence too; respectable malt body, creamy mouthfeel and with a fair and subtle carbonation; solidly bitter, quite dry and with a long hoppy finish with more roasted chocolate and licorice - absolutely wonderful beer
