The brewhouse consists of three kettles from 1946 and a wort filter from 2014. The kettles are made of red copper and are “hammered” by hand into the existing shapes. The capacity is 3000 kg deposit. In the past, brews of 250 to 300 hl of lager were produced with this. Today we brew 110 hl per brew since the current beers are of a much higher density.

Dark brown colour, almost black, small frothy head that disappears quickly, fair lacing. Aroma is dried dates, dried figs, some whisky that stays in the aftertaste. Alcohol is warming but does not disturb. Light bitterness. Medium to full body, lively carbonation that works well and gives a creamy mouth feel. Very good! Like Rochefort 10 but with extra whisky flavour.

Old rating from 03-01-17 - A spring beer, titled as Anker-Bok Lentebok with a green label, also know as Maneblusser Lente. A 330ml bottle. It pours a light hazy blonde colour with a creamy white head. Aromas of coriander, cumin and curacao. Tastes of the same as well as oats, rye, fruits & flora. A fine bitter finish.
