Jul 6, 2009 Bottle. Chocolate, coffee and other roasted tones dominates the aroma aswell as the taste. Both are accompanied by fresh american hops. This is a very porteresque beer.

Jul 5, 2009 Pours dark amber with a good sized frothy tan head that leaves nice lacing. Sweet malt aroma, bread with a hint of cinnamon. Light bodied beer with a malt flavor and enough hops to compliment. Mild bitter coffee finish. Flavor and palate don’t quite live up to the appearance and aroma but a good beer nonetheless.

Jul 4, 2009 Black with a tall tan head. Sweet dark malt aroma with strong liquorice, and some caramel. Ale-like fruitiness, with aromatic hops. Nice, though not at all a traditional bock aroma. Flavors of liquorice, burnt coffee, citrus hops. Rather like a hoppy porter. Ok, with enjoyable hops. Strange and different, though it got less enjoyable as I went on.

Jul 2, 2009 Bottle at a restaurant in Malmo, 19th May 09. Aroma of candy sugar and orange zest. Deep reddish tinted brown. Surprisingly light palate given the aroma. Sweet and malty on the tongue.

Jun 29, 2009 Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. A rich, spicy aroma and taste. Chocolatey taste reminiscent of their Porter, but without the long, lingering smack. The vineous aroma creeps in midway. Has plenty of fruit and hops, plus the distinguishing floral/grassy aromas their pale beers have. Truly an Anchor brew.
