The beer pours straight black. There is a short head of dark
tan to brown foam that is not long lasting. The aroma is dark chocolate,
raisins, and black licorice, along with a bit of char. The taste follows the
aromas, but ups the pleasant char. The beer drinks smooth with a light to
moderate carbonation. It is not strongly carbonated, but it has about as much
as you will generally find in a RIS. The finish is moderately bitter, and has a
star anise sting that lingers lightly in the aftertaste. This makes for a nice,
solid stout, not great, but trending upward.
