Pours a hazy mahongoany hue, cool woody brown, with a with a nice bit of froth, if short-lived.
Aroma, sour, citric, and spicy, from the start, lemon peel, clove, and pepper.
Taste: big, brisk, fruity blast on the palate, softly fading into a firm malt base. Cherries, berrries, bananas, melon, all accompanied by a tidy peppery kick on the side, and the flavor never fades, nestles well in the mouth, offering a resilient, bright tingle on the tongue. Great texture, wonderful play on the palate, a genial joust of tastes in the mouth. Fruity, to the point of being wine-like, but with plenty of it’s own individual charms to make it a supple, special little thing in the mouth. Very special ale, hunt it down, if you must!

Oct 16, 2003 Looks and pours like mud but has a nice light brown head, very fruity(prunes?) and alcoholic nose, almost chocolatey flavour with the alcohol repeating on you then back to the prune juice, complex and medium texture. Drink this at the right temperature and it gets better.

Jan 15, 2005 Draft at CAH. Medium brown, OK head. Aroma of wood and faint dark fruit, and a note of dried hops. Flavor was also quite woody, some malt, and more undefined dark fruits. Somehow, not quite in balance, the flavors just didn’t meld. Could improve with a bottle that has been aged a bit. Incidentally, it was much better with food, as the wood notes fell back and fruit flavors of currants came forward. Rating based upon drinking without food.

Oct 2, 2004 10.01.04 750ml Bottle. Cloudy, pressed-cider brown with big, lasting, khaki head. Luscious aromas of banana bread, ripe plum, carrots cooked in brown sugar and butter. Soft body like freshly whipped cream followed by a crisp hop bitterness and slight astringency. Medium sweet and sugary. A complex conundrum for a strong ale, the sweet/dry mix makes for a pleasant and refreshing brew, however it is unsettling at times.

Feb 14, 2007 Bright ruby body with a modest frothy beige head. Warm kettle caramelization, plum, cherry, and toffee aromas. Flavor is medium sweet with light fruit skin acidity and bitterness. Cola tones early, but nice dark fruit qualities develop as it warms. Very solid stuff from Het Anker.
