Dec 16, 2007 Bottle: What a beautiful pour ... deep and dark with a rigid guard of bubbly top foam. The aroma is rich a dry. The drink is ambrosia ... rich, dark fruits like raisin, plum and full blood oranges, along with a richly roasted malt, all boiled together. Has Avery ever gone wrong? Me thinks not. Yet another homerun from one of the country’s greatest brewers. (#3255, 12/16/2007)

Jun 16, 2007 Dark brown color with a thin head. Lots of vanilla and oak in the aroma with a little coffee. Bone dry malt body with massive wood and coffee flavors. The hops do not stand out as themselves, but as an overall dryness. Surprisingly good.

I just don’t get this brewery. It’s hard to put my finger on exactly what is always my problem with their beers. The main problem, of course, is that they’re too sweet because they are brewing in such humongous quantities and don’t get great attenuation, I think. But beyond that, even the malt flavor itself is very simple and devoid of any suppleness/depth. Very hard mouthfeel. The hops are rarely pleasant either. Forceful, bittering hops are boring and simplified grapefruit/pine. Granted, with this one, I will admit there is some tropical fruit/pineapple flavor and aroma, but it’s pretty marginal when taken with the bitterness and sugariness. Washed out texture from excessive filtration and alcohol apparency to boot. These Anniversary beers should be small batch beers, or unfiltered or something. I just can’t take these things any more. Barely choked my glass down.
