Dec 17, 2002 Looks great. Really big body and nice off-white head. Unusual (for this style) banana aroma but otherwise nice caramelly malts. Flavour reminded me of a ’mini-me’ version of Rochefort 10. Not as much going on but quite similar. A touch of alcohol on the palate but sweet maltiness a just enough hops are enough to make this a good brew.

Aug 5, 2004 Clear ruby-brown pour. Medium light brown head with decent lacing. Huge malty nose, tons of dark fruits, toasted notes, chocolatey richness, maybe even coffee, caramel and grapes reminiscent flavors, very estery anyway. Very appealing and powerful. In mouth, the typical initial Het Anker rich sweetness is luxuriously accompanied by drying out yeast. Smoky, woody and mineral long finish full of memories with an ever so slight alcohol hint and noble hop bitterness. Medium-full bodied, moderate to high carbonation, rich mouthfeel. Fantastic malty belgian, almost like a doppelbock, enormous level of sweetness included. Still, more balanced if not as rich as the grand cru, but perhaps less exciting than the noël as far as I’m concerned. That’s a bit like comparing napoleon and alexander the great though. A must.

Nov 17, 2005 Bottle: Excellent aroma of fruit, toffee, light chocolate, and a hint of yeast. Pours a dark transparent amber with a small off-white head. Fruit, raisin, light chocolate, toffee, and yeast. Light alcohol flavor and moderate warmth come into play in the finish.

Apr 18, 2007 Wow! I thought this was classified as a dubbel but it sure tastes like one! Beautiful dark brown pour with a generous 3 finger tan head. Aroma of yeast and dark fruit with caramel. Taste is strong and near perfect. A sandy mix of dark fruits, yeast, caramel and chocolate. Nice and thick mouthfeel that is perfectly carbonated. I need more of this!

A bit spicy on the tongue. Quite sweet and fruity, hints of almonds. Palate is quite carbonated. Really nice and tasteful. Rating #84. Re-rate 090518 because first sample was bad.
