Big fan of this beer from Slow Boat Brewery ... it has been renamed North Star Liquorice Stout for the boobs who don't know what star anise is, thus ruining the wordplay ... anyway, at 6.2% with a bitterness rating (IBU) of 30, I can drink these all night long... waistline expanding in real-time. Beijing has a pretty active craft beer scene, for which I'm thankful. 30元 (US$4.80) a pint.
