Anderson claims to have the world’s finest breweries. Year 2006, 12 oz brown bottle and the label is entertaining, lots of detail. Pours darker than expected, like a transparent dark american lager. Sweet aroma of fruit & yeast. Some hop or malt on the initial taste, then it fades to some cherry and possibly a hint of vanilla. Next taste revealed some citrus or orangey flavors. Another smell yeilds a leathery background aroma. Its interesting that the flavor and aroma are in a state of constant flux, very dynamic. Next taste is roasty and malty. Next sniff is vegatables! This beer is very complex, I must admit. Next sniff is like whiskey. However, the finish is above average bitter and it lingers with medicine or alcohol. Quite an experience. You must try this at least once, and once is enough. This beer is much better than Sammy Adams old Fezziwig.

Bottle: poured an amber brown with an average head. Aroma is of cloves and a vanilla like sweetness. Taste is a blend of spices, mostly clove and ginger, with hints of vanilla and some light malt. Not overpowering in flavor, but tasty and smooth.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a rich caramel color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma is sweet and lightly fruity with a mild toffee undertone. The flavor is light caramel and mild sweet malts that blend into a slightly bitter finish. Nothing special.

Bottle. Very dark pour. Dark tan head. Slight smokey aroma, with roasted malt and coffee flavors. Full bodied and not too bitter for a stout.

A deep red beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet woody combined with light notes of caramel, alcohol, and spices. The flavor is sweet malty - the sweetness making the mouthfeel somewhat sticky, with primary notes of caramel, but also some spices - of which cloves are the strongest.
