200 vintage tasted at the Kulmintor in September 2008. Murky orange with light tan head, surprisingly lively for its age. Aroma of caramel and honey. Full-bodied. Taste of raisins and banana bread. Licorice finish. No bitterness. Mellow.

(0.75 l bottle at Kulminator on 2008-05-17) Pale amber colour. A bit cloudy. White big head. A bit spicy and clearly fruity nose. Medium bodied palate with some fizziness. Taste is fruity and there are caramell, malts, raisin and liquorice flavours. Really nice.

Dry oak, wood, alcohol, sweet and spicy scent. Spicy sweet and dry, but VERY mellow, taste.WOW, the scent and taste really differ from each other.A bit sweet licorice aftertaste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Alcohol aftertaste. Taste is also grainy and malty.

Bottled (2002 vintage). Golden colour, small beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, a lot of nuts, some spices, caramel malts, fudge, alcohol, herbs, grass and lots more. Flavour is alcohol, fruits, honey, spices and mild notes of yeast. A complex beer, that has aged really well. Wellbalanced and superb.

RBSG07. From 75 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is malty, slight corn. Flavour is sweet, alcohol presence, corn and slight malty, slight wineous. Finish is malty dry. I don’t like the tobacco flavour though.

Bottle 75cl, vintage 2002, label says "Mechelse Reuzen - Consequente compensatie".
Good beer to celebrate Finnish independence and also my most expensive beer bottle ever.
Hazy orange color, good creamy white head. Fruity and yeasty nose, also some kind of woody notes. Someway similar ot some DDB beers. Bitter, honey sweet with alcoholic kick. Full-bodied malty background, also oaky notes in the flavor. After four years mouthfeel is very round. Beer to sip slowly.

(Bottle 75 cl) Name on label reads "Mechelse Reuzenbier". Pilsener golden, slightly hazy with a huge and stable head, that never really collapses. Extremely potent, solid and full-bodied beer with lots of malt, sweetness and (well hidden) alcohol. Fruity and yeasty nose. Very complex flavours that almost "explode" in your mouth leaving you with all sorts of wonderful impressions. 290602

(rather aged sample) Clear gold, end more hazy; slim white head. Alcoholic, sweet, but great - typical ’t Anker - raisins-like aroma. Drier nose than most GC beers, some portwine. A bit cheesy taste, quite alcoholic and very sweet. VERY full mouthfeel, alcohol more than obvious, dry. Very well-aged beer, sweetish alcoholic, but balanced with infinitesimal flavours and aromas. Great beer found at ’t Brugs Beertje.
