I've got another bottle that I'll open sometime in the future to see how it's aged

Nice and grainy. A bit corny. Crystal clear, beautiful dark gold. Very glad I got to try this, surely one of the last bottles for sale. Bottled a year ago. RIP Anchor, y'all are legends.

355ml bottle, New York 2012. Cheeky late rate. Clear copper pour, off white head. Crisp, fresh. That's all I can say without trying again.

Bottiglia. Il naso vira verso il fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul tetto della bocca si attestano sentori di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, mango, frutta tropicale e creme caramel.

Bottle Fairly enough representing the style. Nothing extraordinary though. Within this extraordinary style. Boozy. Sweetish. It works well

Every beer that sent to europe is far from its best. But this beer even at its best can’t be that good. Bierkonig ams

I've had this many times before, just not recently, it seems. Bottled 02/10/2023. Pours a clear deep copper colour and a small dense light beige head with long retention.Aroma's of caramel malt, a bit rye bread, light red fruit. Retronasal there's a bit more fruit, some bitterness, caramel and bready malts. Flavour is light moderate sweet and bitter. Alcohol is warming. Medium bodied. Long finish with increasing bitterness. An American classic. RIP.
