30 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a diminished off-white head. Spiced aroma of annis seed - solid liqourice. Dry and spiced flavour with a solid liqourice and mild acidic to dry/roasted malt note. A bit too much on the spices, but not unpleasant.

Bottle, 8%. Anise aroma. Muddy brown colour, there is some yeast from the bottom of the bottle. The flavour is citric and slightly malty. Distinct anise flavour. A little one-dimensional, but I like it.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of MiP/yespr. Very cloudy amber golden with a small, bubbly off-white head. Extremely spicy aroma with star aniseed dominating. Quite full-bodied with sweetish roasted malt and fruit and an assortment of spices. Subdued bitterness. 291108

Bottled. An unclear dark amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of spices, especially star anise and cardemomme. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of spices - star anise being strongest, but also with notes of caramel and straw. The finish is very dry spicy.
