Tap at fenway. Pours a dep dark brown, almost black with a thin beige head. Light roasted malts an chocolate in the aroma with hints of licorice and tar but also thick sweet fruity esters and a solventy alcohol note. More roast, almost coffe in the flavor, solvent and acetone as it warms, sharp caramel and fruity high temp esters.

This beer was great, it delivered what was advertised. I ordered it because of it’s notation of "licorice" in the description. The beer was great- but honestly, have a Guinness at an Irish place and get the Bluebeery Ale here!

Draught. Darl brown with a thick coffe colored head. Aroma of vanilla and chocolate. Flavor of chocolate, coffee with a nice hoppy finish. Very light for an imperial, lacks the full body that it advertises. Still, not too shabby.

on tap-pours a big creamy tan head that laces and black color. Aroma is licorice-dark malt. Taste is licorice-dark malt, hops bitterness. OK carbonation.
