3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. March version listed at 5.9% ABV, November version listed at 6.8% ABV. Rating goes for the November version, scores for March version: 6/4/6/3/13=3.2. A dark red-brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of licorice and malt as well as light notes of roasted malt, straw, and a bit of acidity. The flavor is very sweet with extremely powerful licorice notes - too much for me, also notes of ammoniac and light notes of caramel. Like liquid licorice. In my book not a porter since the hardest roasted malt is caramunich and the color is from extensive use of food coloring.

Draught at the brewpub.
Clear red brown coloured with a huge beige head.
Sweet aroma of caramel, liquorice and butterscotsch.
Sweet flavour dominated by liquorice and caramel with notes of butterscotsch and chocolate.
Roasted finish.
The liquorice is too dominating.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(On tap) Opaque orangey brown with a fine, creamy, beige head. Aroma is distinct, sweet licorice and a little roasted malt. Medium body, a little low in carbonation with sweet notes of roasted malt and burned caramel - almost like a Danish table beer. And then again loads of licorice. The finish is fairly dry although the bitterness is discreet. Not bad. 030308

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2011 RB DK #1100: From tap at the brewpub, 5.9% as Apollo Lakrids Bryg. Pours dark brown with a little dense brown head. Thick dry liqourice nose. Light body. Flavour is somewhat thinner first than expected but the liqourice builds up to a quite solid dry finish. Lingering liqourice, light acidity and mild bitterness in the finish. Somewhat simple, but I’m a sucker for liqourice in beer.5-3-7-3-13=3.1
