Apr 8, 2009 12 oz bottle from Canal’s Hainesport. Pours a very good looking deep red/brown with a large creamy beige head that leaves a nice pool of floating creamy bubbles and lots of lace. Initial aroma is sweet and of dark fruits, raisins and fig, chocolate and upon warming some floral notes emerge. Medium bodied with lively carbonation and a quickly fading aftertaste. Flavors of chocolate, grains, dark fruits and slight dates. Solid offering from Anchor.

Apr 6, 2009 Pours dark reddish-brown with minimal head. Very sweet raisin aroma with a hint of chocolate. A nice balanced malt flavor with bitterness at the end. Nothing bad to really say about this one, it was a pleasant surprise. Anchor brewing company continues to impress me with their solid offerings.

Apr 4, 2009 Nice dark color to this one. Smells of malts and raisins. Taste is a little complex. Not that carbonated at all. Has flavors of malts and a very bitter fruits. Has a very bitter aftertaste in the end. But overall, not too bad of a brew.

Apr 3, 2009 The bottle pours a dark brown/chestnut color with a small, but solid tan head. Nice lacing along the side of the glass. The beer has a distinct aroma of malt and rye. Flavor includes roasted malts, more of the rye notes, with hints of dates and raisins. There’s slight hop bitterness in the finish. This is a tasty, solid offering from the folks at Anchor. I highly recommend taking a tour of the brewery if you are ever in San Francisco, very cool tour!

Apr 2, 2009 Ft. Myers, Fl. - Total Wines - 12 oz bottle. Finally found this elusive brew from Anchor - one of the only ones I am missing. Very dark brown - almost black pour with a decent sized mocha colored head. Pleasant wort-like aroma with some dates and raisin notes. Good, solid rib-sticking bock flavor with brief hints of licorice, raisins, baked brown bread and a brief hint of chocolate. Thickish mouthfeel for a bock Solid, as expected.

Mar 28, 2009 12oz bottle-pours a rich light brown head and mahogany color. Aroma is roasty-dark malt, pine hops fades in and out. As it warms molasses too. Taste is ashy-dark malt, earthy hops. As it warms the ashy is replaced by chocolate which improves the taste. Thanks jwc215 for picking this out.
