Jul 6, 2002 Updated: Oct 11, 2007Brown rum flambé over wealthy meat, rich raisins and dark malts…Candied raspberries in sensuous molasses…A good sherry with dark chocolate, perfectly blended and intelligently sweet...Subdued torch lighting in an elegantly rustic castle hallway…Het Anker truly have no reason to envy the Rocheforts of this world, their malt control is absolutely stunning and delectable...

Nov 30, 2003 Bottled: Clear amber coloured. Huge beige head. Malt, spices, alcahol and light cocoa notes in the aroma. Very mild and smooth flavour. Very pleasant. Malts, fruit and some light roastyness and alcahol is present. Has a great alcaholbitterness in the end. Yummy.

Aug 23, 2002 Very good aroma, my first taste impression was a little metallic, but when you dink it you get overwhelmed with a very massive taste, alcohol is something on the background. Palate stays in your mouth for days... (when you have patience) Great beer.

Sep 9, 2002 Subtle warmth from the alcohol, nice complex taste like raisins, easter chocolate. Palate not to thick. Very, very fine ale. Similar in impression to Rochfort 10

Oct 20, 2003 Pours deep dark brown with ruby tinges. Beige head with good retention. Aroma of dark fruits (raisins, prunes), berries and chocolate. Very clean deep aroma. Medium-full mouthfeel, smooth finish. Lovely subtle taste of dark fruits (raisins and prunes once again!), chocolate and sweet caramel. Very well balanced, not bitter, but not too sweet. Very nice, and VERY drinkable. ABV is brilliantly masked. Top stuff!

Aug 13, 2003 If you ever had to choose a beer to accompany a chocolate cake or creme caramel choose this. The chocolate malts and smooth creaminess in the nose are soft and silky with the contrasting creamy head a real treat. The first sip confirms this as the immediate mouthfeel is warm and chocolatey with the right touch of malt bitternenss. Hop presence is low but for this style right on the money. I vote for a category known as Belgian Porter.

May 12, 2004 Updated: May 19, 2006A favorite for both my wife and me. We have had it numerous times from a bottle and several times on draft at the Sharp Edge in Pittsburgh. Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer pours a hazy red/brown with a large tan head. The aroma is malty and very spicy. The flavor is malty with elements of caramel, molasses, nut and chocolate. The flavor is complex and changes as it lingers on the palate.

Dec 5, 2004 Updated: May 14, 2009Murky brown color with a thin light brown head. Complex and appealing aroma of raisin and figs, sugar, malt and bubble guml. Very rich and enjoyable flavor of figs, malt , raisin, bubble gum and alcohol. Full body, liquorous texture, lively carbonation. Amazing stuff, this is truly a dessert in its own.
