Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet spicy - especially ginger, combined with notes of honey. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices - especially ginger. The body is thin, but the alcohol bites in the throat.

On tap at John Bull, Aalborg. (as Old Anchor Porter) A next to black beer with a diminishing, dense tan to beige head. Nice lacings too. A bit weak on the nose, with roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, nougat and a tiny little sourness nicely blended. Some sweetness in the mouth, smooth, quite dry and well-carbonated, with chocolate and coffee. Some bitterness towards the finish, mostly coffee-like. Medium duration. An elegant, unchallenging porter with good drinkability. (080914)

Bottled. Golden colour with lots of particles floating around. Aroma is spices, fruits, nectar and some slight hints of sap. Mild herbal notes as well as roasted tones too. X-mas cinnamon cookies also came to mind. Flavour is sweet spices, mild wood and yeast. Some Xmas cinnamon cookielike notes too as well as slightly roasted malts.

Draught@EBF2008. Black colour, not much head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, strong roasted malts and also some slight stinging alcohol. Flavour is alcohol, sweet malts, coffee and mild roasted notes. Aftertaste gets bigtime roasted malts meeting alcohol. Even though the alcohol hints it’s a quite nice and wellbalanced beer.
