Jan 29, 2008 Sampled at Anchor, San Fran - June 2007. Clear dark brown (mahogany up to light) with a thick beige head. Raisins, carmelized sugars in the nose. Flavor of dark fruits, burnt raisin, dark caramel, toffee, a hint of roast, noble hops, a light alcohol kick and some lingering bitterness. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.

Jan 29, 2008 Dark color with pleasing carbonation and a rocky mocha head. Aroma of caramel with notes of cardboard. Started off with a very chilled sample, yet lovely carmel flavorings still leaked out. Crisp caramel throughout the session with a burnt finish and balanced sweetness. One of the better Anchor brews.

Jan 28, 2008 Nice oily brown pour like molasses with a foamy/creamy light brown head. Roasted malt aroma with some sweet sugary bourbon and a touch of caramel. The taste is smoked caramel and milk chocolate with some cocoa as well.

Jan 26, 2008 (bottle) Pours dark brown with a tan head that settles quickly. Aroma is nice and features toasted nut, cocoa, chocolate, and tart berry (can’t tell which one though). Taste turns immediately to dark chocolate, then a slight cola flavor. This flavor then gives way to the tart berry I picked up in the aroma, and yields to a nice light roast/hop bitter finish. Medium mouthfeel. This is a pretty good sessionable beer, and has a decent amount of complexity.

Jan 26, 2008 Dark and brown in color with reddish edges and a creamy head. Aromas are a bit sugary with cherry and roasted grains. Smooth texture, hopcit on the finish. Nice amount of carbonation. Tastes overwhelmingly of whole-grain toast. Some coffee. Rather plain. Lots of breakfast notes in here.
