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.
mouse725 (40), Albany, New York, USA Jan 13, 2008 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! kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 04/27/1999

kevd193213 (336), Coventry, Rhode Island, USA Mar 24, 2007 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. jcwattsrugger (4045), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Feb 11, 2007 on tap-pours a big creamy tan head that laces and black color. Aroma is licorice-dark malt.
