Nov 4, 2006 12oz bottle. Dark amber color brew with light brown head. Sweet malt and molasses aroma. The flavor begins with a slight tart twinge that hits as the carbonation does. Then roasted malts and some brown sugar (maybe) fill in the rest of the flavor. As the taste ends the flavors kind of even out and dissipates.

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.

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.

Sep 17, 2009 Dark translucent brown. Aroma is a bit nutty with some caramel, malt and sweetness. Rich and full of chocolate malts, caramel and some fruit. A little thinner and drier than I expected, but pretty good.

Mar 1, 2007 Flowery aroma and malty aroma. ? with halogen it’s a ruby brown color; beige head that laces. Starts sweet - but dark fruit more than malt. A bit thin. A burst of spice, but only for a moment. There is a chocolate character, and also a hint of underlying sour. Finishes with some Guiness toasted malt balanced with hop. The lasting impact is mild bitter. It is really good stuff.

Oct 12, 2006 Very dark ruby black pour, beige head. Burnt coffee, malty aroma, flavor follows with added cocoa and sweet caramel, toffee. A nicely complex brew, seems like a dark lager with stout characteristics.

Apr 10, 2007 Bottle. Pour is a dark deep red with a quickly diminishing head that reduces to a thin ring of tan cream. Aroma is almost musty, with caramel sweetness accompanied by some smoke and moss. The flavor is very mild up front, with only the caramel malts, but the finish is quite smokey, to the point this beer could almost be considered a smoked. I detect some fruit as well. Dark fruits, like prunes. The carbonation is sharp, maybe a touch too sharp. Overall a quality brew that is easy to drink.
