Clear copper body with big meringuey beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, grassy, caramel, bread. Taste is moderately sweet, bread, caramel, finishing mildly bitter herbal/grassy. Medium body, fairly carbonated.

Hazy red to amber body with a pillowy tan head. The aroma is sweet fruit and spicy yeasty. Flavor is medium sweet, caramel, light brown sugar, earthy yeast, and medium bitterness. Body is lively from all of the carbonation, dryish finsih, medium body. Interesting, and even more interesting that I found her in Virgina

Bottle brought back from Belgium. Reddy/brownish, nice head. Aroma is malty and spicy. Flavour is malty, fruity spicy with a bitter finish. Nicer than I expected.

Bottle from Rai Wine Shop, Birmingham. Bright copper, with a healthy tan head. Very tasty aroma - fresh oranges - delicious! Very spicy, especially on the finish, which is a blend of ginger, mince pies, liquorice. Tastes powerful, very brash on the tongue - some bacon, salsa and marzipan. I’m no liquorice fan and this lively, but it’s also exciting and full of flavour. Warming and very nice.

Amber, offwhite head. Mild fruity aroma with peach and melon. Fresh fruity flavor with some yeast. Somewhat thin, though.

(on bottle) So much peach it´s almost too much, almost. The notes of alcohol brings it down and saves it. Spicy beer to me; anis and cardemomme, but no big mouth at all. No warmth from tha alcohol in the finish, witch is a bit weak.

Dark red-amber colour. Aroma shows caramel, cherries and brown sugar. A little bit thin, though, but at least there’s some complexity - cherries, raisins, metal, toffee and oranges. Hint of yeast.

Cloudy amber to light red body, wtih a nice off-white frothy head. Spicy aroma with some notes of orange, hops and spices, maybe some brett too? Falvor is fruity, has some malt tones, spicy and then finishes off with a dry hoppy bite. A bit bitter in the end. Very nice one... Het Anker Rocks!

Cloudy amber with nice head. Malty, nice fruit presence, spicy (liqourice root!), medium-full body, little fizzy mouthfeel, very pleasent!

Amber with a big white frothy head. Pepper, oranges, peach and yeast in aroma. Sweet malty flavour, lots of fruit ut it’s a bit sugary for my tastes. weak hoppy notes in finish, notes of nectarines and toffee.
