30th Anniversary - Fritz And Ken's Ale
A: Black with a steady one inch light brown head--great retention; lacing is okay for the style S: Heavily roasted malts, chocolate, and coffee resonate; bready with a subtle hop presence; fairly muted aromas overall, however T: Rich with a nice vanilla and dry chocolate flavor; alcohol is present but not overwhelming; the flavors are quite complex--anice, perhaps? F: Very creamy with great mouth coating D: A very drinkable--though rich like a creamy shake--stout; alcohol is well masked; all in all a delicious version of the style
