Apr 17, 2003 Updated: Dec 30, 2004Draught. This is a great brew. Strong toffee, choccolate and coffee notes. Definite strong choccolate aroma. The beer remains however still refreshing. That’s absolutely amazing. "Skål" to Het Anker!!

Jun 19, 2005 Bottle. Cloudy pour mahogany color with a golden-brown head. Bold aroma/flavor combination! Lots of apple/pear presence, figs, peach, maple syrup. The perfect amount of alcohol presence to give it some bold kick. Firm mouthfeel, very well done. A good beer for celebrating something, which I’m doing right now!

Jul 31, 2002 Faint hazy deep deep amber brown with super fine bubbled, large, lasting tan head generating drift wood lace. Fresh caramel malt, bubblegum, banana and a light cookie dough yeast aroma. Rich velvety smooth festive beer palate. Medium soft body, alcohol well masked with big classy balanced yeast and caramel flavours. Light bitter and sweeter fruity malty kick off, soft sweet malty halftime and final. Stands up nicely alongside its bigger brother.

Oct 11, 2002 Wow now this is a nice dark stong Belgian ale. Chocolate, raisin, banana, plum and vanilla notes. Taste is impressive as well, just the right amount of sweetness thrown in. Very tasty.

Nov 30, 2005 Pitch brown color with a finger’s worth of foam floating on top. Nice aroma of plums and cherries. Strong sweet malt taste with more earthy fruit tones on the end. Yeast and bread play a part in the middle with some toffee finish. Very nice.

Apr 13, 2006 Updated: Mar 19, 2007A little better than I expected. Powerful aroma with mostly fruit, light spice, and sweet malt. This doesn’t have the weird sweetness of Abbaye des Rocs, but is well balanced all around with the sweet fruit flavors. It looks good with an off white head but no visible sediment. Overall this is a very high quality Belgian ale that is exactly what I expect of this style. It is very good all around without excelling in any area. Rerate March 2007, in Belgium. Score unchanged.
