Portoaroma. Porto and apple flavor. Just a bit dusty. Grapes. The beer is a few years old probably and has become considerably thinner. Decent brew, though.

Bottle shared with tderoeck. Best before 2003. Redbrown colour, creamy beige foam. Nose of caramel, dried fruit (plums), brown sugar, some oxidation. Taste is sweet, malty, some notes of port. Rather sweet. Still very nice. This one kept up very well.

9/III/19 - 33cl bottle @ JefVerstraete's baby visit, BB: 24/I/2003 - (2019-353) Thanks to JefVerstraete for sharing the bottle!
Little cloudy reddish brown beer, small creamy white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of caramel, dried fruits, bit oxidized, but not too bad, for such an old beer. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty oxidized, some orange peel, lots of cardboard, bit of caramel metallic touch. Aftertaste: more cardboard, oxidized, bit malty, soft acidity. Still very drinkable for a beer of almost 20 years old!

Beer named after a 15th-century style from Mechelen, eventually replaced by Gouden Carolus Ambrio and not extant anymore now. Deep amber colour, creamy, off-white head, caramelly maltiness, dried fruits, walnuts, smooth mouthfeel, sweetish onset with a bitterish finish. Very well-balanced.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ Kulminator thx! to Danko. BBF 18/06/2005. Pours a dark fox amber, small but steady off-white head. Oxidation is obvious in the nose, thinned out, metallic with some like liquorish in the back, touch watery & syrupy. Taste is quite oxidized, stale coca-cola, quite metallic, fizzy, watery, brown sugar, light liquorish, totally thinned out by age. Not the worst but largely gone now. Quite a few Anker beers keep & have kept exceptionally well, this one isn’t one of them.

3rd June 2010 - Brasserie 4:20 - Bottle thanks to Alex! Clear deep amber beer. Little white head. Light palate. Toffee dominates. Sweet, rich and dark. Not much else going on but I’m not sure it’s needed either!
