Arbor Ales - Phoenix Stout 4.3%


Taste: Phew. The description of this on the bottle sounded disgusting. But it works well. A "bucket of dates and smoked malt" scared the bejesus out of me. It does taste very smokey but it's pleasant. For some reason, I'm getting an aniseed flavour too. (Someone's aniseed ball fell in when they were creating this "freestyle Friday" brew?)

Appearance: Too dark to tell.

Would you buy 2? I could sink two.

Would you buy 4? Perhaps!

Rating (out of 7): 5***** sounds like a happy accident. Kudos.
