Anchor Our Special Ale (2003)

Bottle thanks to BMan1113VR. Brown in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of toast, leather, pine, and roasted malts. Taste is of pine, a little bit of raostiness, and lots of spices.

Like taking a walk in a Christmas tree lot. Slight rum cake and spiced cookie notes in the nose with toasted caramel and marshmallow characters. Nice and clean finish.
