Jun 18, 2005 Updated: Jun 27, 2006I bought a case of this back in 2000. Somehow a bottle managed to get into my Parent’s liquor cabinet and sat there forgotten all these years. So I put it in the fridge this weekend to see how it had held up. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a large dark brown head. The aroma is spicy and has a strong spruce presence. The flavor is bitter and spicy with spruce as the main flavor element. The beer is medium bodied and has a sweet sprucy finish.

May 30, 2005 1995 bottle courtesy of Sven. Still had a wonderful port like fruitiness and some hidden spices.Not quite aromatic but softer,cinnamon ?? Was a little tiny bit sour but the Pot Pourri aroma came thru’ in the taste with some dried fruits and cinnamon.A dash thin on the palate but syrupy.

Apr 20, 2005 2001: Deep, penetrating toffee aroma with lots of refined sugars. The body is nicely balanced, mixing burnt caramel with loads of crystal malts, giving a wonderfully roasty finish.

Mar 28, 2005 1995 vintage. Poured a brown color. Dominant aroma was spearment (and something else but I can’t read my handwriting. ) Flavor was tangy, malty, with hints of spice. Bitter dry finish.

Mar 15, 2005 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Vintage 2001. Thick, almost tar-like black beer with a generous brown porter-like head. When I had this the first time I wasn’t impressed. But either the beer or my tastebuds has changed! Extremely full, reminiscent of a Stout with it’s characteristic burned aroma in good balance with the more fruity notes from the ale-yeast. Spicy - but from what I do not know. Apparently Anchor changes the recipe every year. Surprising that this beer doesn’t contain more alcohol - it appears stronger.
