Apr 26, 2009 Updated: Jun 20, 2009belied by its opacity and sturdy head, the nose is not of roast but of sweet cereal malts. flavor is however first and foremost extremely bitter, with a definite smoked end. i’m not sure which of the two i enjoy more, they are a stellar combination of this dynamic palate. mouthfeel borders on dry. stunning beer!

Apr 20, 2009 Pours a dark brown color with a thick creamy head. A very bitter smell with a smooth crisp taste slightly malty with a hop aftertaste. A good beer but not one of anchors best.

Apr 12, 2009 Thick blackish pour, massive head and lace, yum. Hoppy, dry aroma. Nutty malt dominates, with some corny bitter hops. Roasted caramel in there. A little bit watery and not as much kick as I expect from a bock. Dissappointing effort from Anchor.

Apr 8, 2009 12 oz bottle from Canal’s Hainesport. Pours a very good looking deep red/brown with a large creamy beige head that leaves a nice pool of floating creamy bubbles and lots of lace. Initial aroma is sweet and of dark fruits, raisins and fig, chocolate and upon warming some floral notes emerge. Medium bodied with lively carbonation and a quickly fading aftertaste. Flavors of chocolate, grains, dark fruits and slight dates. Solid offering from Anchor.

Apr 6, 2009 Pours dark reddish-brown with minimal head. Very sweet raisin aroma with a hint of chocolate. A nice balanced malt flavor with bitterness at the end. Nothing bad to really say about this one, it was a pleasant surprise. Anchor brewing company continues to impress me with their solid offerings.

Apr 4, 2009 Nice dark color to this one. Smells of malts and raisins. Taste is a little complex. Not that carbonated at all. Has flavors of malts and a very bitter fruits. Has a very bitter aftertaste in the end. But overall, not too bad of a brew.

Apr 3, 2009 The bottle pours a dark brown/chestnut color with a small, but solid tan head. Nice lacing along the side of the glass. The beer has a distinct aroma of malt and rye. Flavor includes roasted malts, more of the rye notes, with hints of dates and raisins. There’s slight hop bitterness in the finish. This is a tasty, solid offering from the folks at Anchor. I highly recommend taking a tour of the brewery if you are ever in San Francisco, very cool tour!
