bulletrain76 (540), Santa Cruz, California, USA Aug 17, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Super dark brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma of licorice a sweet dried fruit. The flavor is sweet and alcoholic with strong licorice and herbal spice. Full bodied and a little sticky. This is just a weird beer. Super herbal and licorice flavored. When I saw this on the menu I got pretty psyched, but just couldn’t get into it. Some more subtlety, and I could see this being a nice strong dark ale, but its just too much.
