From the bottle:
Dark Ale brewed with spices and natural flavor.
A very heavy and syrupy beer that was just a little to heavy on the spice side for me. This fancy beer is "bottle conditioned" which, after reading some reviews online, means you can age this like wine or something. Seemed to generate plenty of favorable reviews, but the overwhelming spice was too much for me. Alcohol content was fairly high at 9.2 percent, and you could feel it with each sip. The real downside to this for me was the black licorice on the aftertaste, and I hate black licorice. Just not my style.
