Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

473ml can <br> 5.6% ABV <br> Canned On: January 13, 2020 <br> LCBO Outlet #483 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Royal Bank Plaza)<br> February 22, 2020 <br> $4.25 <br> The beer pours a blackish-blue colour with a generous bubbly head that lasts a while and laces well. The blueberries and the chocolate dominate the aroma but there are also hints of yeast and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is tart fruit up front, and chocolate smoothness in the back end. Quite enjoyable to be honest!

341ml bottle <br> 6.6% ABV <br> Smokeless Joe (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> August 18, 2010<br> $8.95<br> The beer poured a solid black woth a this tan head. The aroma was overwhelmingly anise with roasted malt, coffee, and caramel all taking a back seat. The mouthfeel was full-bodied and creamy. The flavour was again roiasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate.....and anise. I'm not a huge licorice fan, so the power of the anise took away from the enjoyment of this beer, but anise aside, a solid effort.
