(Bottled) Mahogany/dark amber in colour. Huge foamy head. Big, potent nose with caramel, dried fruit, liquorice and herbs (sweet cicely, rosemary, thyme?). Full, fiery flavor, with dried fruit (prunes), more herbs (caraway, aniseed?) and a well balanced hint of yeast. Sweet but not sticky. Complex stuff and a magnificent beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Unclear reddish brown with a creamy, vaguely reddish head leaving some laces. Markedly fresh and fruity. Medium body with thick accents of red berries and fruit. Extremely fruity and sweetish without ever being cloying - a light tartness keeps things in the balance. But there isn’t much beer over this, and the 6,5% ABV are scaringly well hidden - sort of alkopop style. Probably a good aperitif. 270106

Pretty aged bottle Clear pale amber; small but firm off-white head. Nutty nose, sweet, raisins, peaches and a little dash of portwine, very inviting. Nutty taste, biscuit and caramel, sultana’s; ends on a fruity note as of (old) citrus peel & sucade . In the MF, the oxidation has taken the most of the toll: thin, but alcoholic. Carbonation, however, is still 5/5. Very nicely aged, fruity, unfortunately a bit thinnish.

Perfumed, somewhat cloying, sweet fruit aroma. Cloudy yellow hue, tanned blanket head. Fruity (apples, peaches, tropical) and flowery base flavor, earthy potatolike aftertaste. Light mouthfeel, slightly sparkly.

Deep red-brown body, thin/medium beige head. Flowery, perfumey aroma, spciy, with hints of yarrow, toast, and banana. Peppery, licoricey body, with perfumey yarrow, toast, and a tight bitter finish to go along with hints of chocolate and other candies. The spicy, flowery, peppery yeast flavors remind me a bit of something Brasserie des Rocs would brew. Good but a bit heavy on the spices for me.

Bottle, BBE September 5, 2008 Off-white head with a good lace. Lasts mostly. Hazy, orange body. Nose of cookies, oranges, perfume and lots of flowers. Lightly acidic, moderately bitter initial flavour. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter finish. (Long lasting) Lightly to medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Nice beer, not really in the Anker style. Pleasant drinkable, but still not superb balanced.

Bottled (2002, 8,5%). Hazy brown colour, small beige head. Alcohol, malts, caramel. Flavour sweet caramellish malty with hints of plum, alcohol a bit bitterness. Quite complex to both aroma and flavour.
