From the brewer

As the name suggests, is not for the faint-hearted. This beer is a strong, hearty stout brewed in a very limited quantity a few times a year. It is brewed with seven different barley malts, blackstrap molasses, hops, water, yeast, licorice root and star anise. It has an intense depth of roast earthy flavour, with a pleasant licorice aroma.

Who's been drinking this

I liked this at first, although I thought the licorice, which blends well into the hoppy bitter finish, was a bit strong. Over time, though, it got more and more bitter and by the end I was wishing I had never started it.
