Loved this beer. Smooth, sweet and yeasty. Waterzooi in Garden City, NY

Strong syrupy. I detect cherry but no other review does.

It's like drinking licorice!

A bit heavy, syrupy. Otherwise, a nice Belgian style spiced ale.

Good one. Anise is noticeable. Smooth taste and finish. Good one. Nice winter beer.

If you like anise you will like this. Lots of anise flavor.

Some sources up front, sweet Carmel middle, boozy finish. Belgians aren't my favorite but this isn't too bad. Gets better as you drink it

Dark mahogany with creamy, fine textured head. Lightly roasted malt, plums, spice round out the nose. Medium full bodied with fine carbonation, slightly sweet plummy fruit with abundant malt. While I'm not a great fan of the style, this one does it well.

Clive and anise, caramel, a little sweet in aftertaste; dry, different, good

Pours chestnut brown with ruby red highlights from the bottle into a snifter. A one finger head slowly recedes to a thin off-white, tannish film. Moderate lacing. Smell: licorice, and honestly nothing else. Taste: licorice up front, with a good malt middle, and a mulling spices sort of finish. The mouthfeel is moderate, but thinner and drier than I expected (granted, that's not necessarily a bad thing). Overall: I hate licorice. This tastes mostly like licorice. Therefore, I highly dislike this beer.
