| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 7, 2007 Rich Chocolately deep brown, but basically black in the glass with mild light tan head. Fairly light smell but it is a roasty, malty smell with chocolately, caramel hints. Rich and carbonated body, with mild sweetness, a slight hint of bitterness and a nice bitter-sweet mild coffee like finish. A touch bland, but my bottle might be quite old. One I’d love to have fresh. Still good nonethess and not a disappointment at all. puggy211 (591), cordova, Tennessee, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 31, 2007 Aroma of liquorice, and roast coffee, dark brown, red at the edges, pours a small toffee head. Flavour is roast malt, raisins, dark bread, woody, nutty. Medium bodied, very bitter, quite dry, tasty. Great. BDR (2164), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 29, 2007 Many thanks to skyview for this bottle. Intense amber color with faint brown head. A sweet aroma with malt, strong molasses, and faint hops. Sweet malt flavor with molasses hints that quickly switches to a slightly dry, almost imperceptibly bitter hop character rather quickly. krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 29, 2007 12oz bottle. comes out of the bottle a murky brown hue that looks pretty good. pour indicates low carbonation. thin khaki head. big sweet nutty aroma with lots of toffee, coco and dry toast. sweet and tangy start fades into a dry coco powder middle. the texture is reminiscent of whole milk. toasty dry finish is a nice compliment. this still has a flavor much like other anchor beers. cyrenaica (440), Milton, Ontario, Canada

I tried this beer on August 21, 2007 at the ’Beer Bistro’ in Toronto. The beer poured dark brown into a tulip glass with a thin brownish head. The aroma was malty with hints of nuts and caramel. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with sharp carbonation. The flavour was malty with hints of chocolate and caramel. Skyview (4060), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 21, 2007 Picked up a six-pack at Woodman’s in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a clear cherry cola brown brew with a creamy beige head that slowly dissolves to a fine film and ring. Aroma of roasted dark malt, molasses, some coffee and dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium to full bodied, very light carbonation with a smoked molasses and dry grain flavor. Finish is slightly dry, toasted malt with a dry dark berry aftertaste. Almost could fool me as a porter than a dunkler bock.
