Dogfish Head Arms Akimbo

This deeply robust Porter was brewed with star anise, molasses and balsam fir tips from Dogfish Head, Maine (really, our friends trekked into the woods, chopped off some branch tips, boxed them up and sent them down to Delaware for us to brew with!) to impart a spicy, resinous character in the beer. It is a dark ale with a licorice and sweet roasted malt that are apparent in the aroma. The first taste is sweet with notes of pine, black licorice, molasses and dark roasted malt.
