Licoranise
Companyia Cervesera del Montseny

Better a bit colder, there are some big bold ideas and flavours playing out. The star anise was the attraction, the black licorice yields a natural sweetness, and there is a touch of heat.

 

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a nice large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt notes with some light anise notes and some black chocolate notes are also noticeable. Taste is a mix of light roasted malt notes with loads of black chocolate and the bitter malt notes are offset buy some residual sugar notes with hints of liquorice and anise. Body si full with nice creamy texture with good carbonation and not overly apparent alcohol notes. Well brewed imperial stout but anise notes could have been more dominant.
