A- I love the black black black body and the head is a nice size that is a dark brown. The head stays put will assist you in a mustache.

S- It's a combination of coffee and raisins. I actually don't detect too much of the anise...I know this at least a year old and I'm not sure how long they aged it, but it has taken a very interesting twist. I wonder if it is the esters or if raisins were added.

T- Wonderful take on a style that seems to go ever which way with interpretations. I'm getting fruits and raisins all over the place. I can't seem to get away from them. The alcohol is still there, but it's fine.

M- Thick and chewy. The carbonation is actually pretty well done for how thick it is.

O- A really intense beer that is doing a lot of wonderful things. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews on this beer, but I think that with a little time this beer is only going to get better and I will be buying another soon to age another year.
