Jan 26, 2009 From a 12oz bottle this brew poured black with a nice brown head. Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, coffee and licorice. Nice silky chocolate and coffee taste with a little licorice in the aftertaste. Solid mouthfeel - nice and creamy. A very drinkable stout.

Jan 23, 2009 I did not find nearly as much aroma or flavor as the rest of the folks that reviewed this beer. Faint roasted aromas, decent chocolate flavor. Didn’t find the licorice or anything complex. Loved the mouthfeel, very silky.

Jan 18, 2009 12oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy dark brown to black color with massive two finger tan head that settles slowly and heavily laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty with strong notes of roasted malt, dark ripe fruit, some anise, molasses and dark chocolate. Flavor is roasted and malty with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, toffee, caramel, honey, anise, and molasses. Generally medium to full body with a pleasing chocolate and coffee finish.

Jan 18, 2009 Pours a dark black with an average sized tan head. Excellent lacing.
Aroma of roasted coffee and licorice.
Nice blend of flavors in this one. Intiallly you taste roasted coffee, malts, chocolate and that’s balanced off with some hops and the the liicorice coming through on the end. Another nice one from bells.

Jan 16, 2009 Interesting and licoricey beer. Pours motor oil black with a thick dark head. Aroma is coffee, vanilla, licorice, and some spice. Immense licorice presence. Flavor is coffee, licorice, and a twinge of hops around the swallow. Lots of dark malt. Finish lingers licorice and some milkiness. Thick mouthfeel and decent carbonation. Complex beer.

Jan 16, 2009 This is a good stout. Pours black. Aroma is nice...coffee/licorice. Not too much carbonation, which is good in my book. Overall not at the top of the list of favorite stouts, but I’ve had many, many that don’t come close to this.
