De Feniks Hérétique

Slightly cloudy, mahogany colour with ruby glimmer and small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Toasty and caramel malty as well as spicy aroma, hints of aniseed, a touch of cardamom. Taste is slightly dry, toasty malty and spicy, hints of aniseed, some chili, a touch of cardamom. "This is a heavy spiced dark beer", but not a heavily spiced dark beer. OK.
