Updated on 06/17/2008. On cask at the brewpub, mistakenly referred to as a summertime chocolate stout by the waitstaff, but the brewer informed me of the correct brew. Clear dark cherry black body with a medium creamy tan head. Dry chocolate aroma with hints of anise. More light anise and a dry chocolate finish. Medium light body with moderately low carbonation. Score: 6/4/6/3/11 - 3.0
