The aroma is faint but sweet with notes of Apollo yeast and licorice. THe color is very dark red and it has a beutiful beige head. The flavor is sweet with notes of licorice dominating but also roasted malt (more than in their oatmeal stout), cane sugar, and apollo yeast. The end is rather hoppy dry and the mouthfeel is smooth and a bit watery. It is served too cold for my liking.

[Draught] Reddish brown coloured. Malty and fruity with some liquorice present. Rather roasty.

Tap, DBF 2004. Deep ruby red, moderate off white head and low condition. Low hints of roasted malt in the nose and some sweetness. Creamy and malt sweet in the mouth with some delicate hoppiness and a hint of roast, although it could have been the liquorice, developing and dominating the finish.
