May 18, 2008 An incredible grand cru style strong Belgian ale. Flavors were intensely of licorice and cherry. A very good brew!

May 17, 2008 Pour was very dark golden with fluffy light tan head. Aroma was strong of malt, caramel, and dark fruit. Flavor was very malty with bigger notes of dark fruit and some caramelization. Alcohol hidden well. Body was a medium to full with a sweet finish. Good brew. Would buy again.

May 16, 2008 Updated: Sep 1, 2008Bottle from Frugal MacDoogal in Nashville. Pours amber mahogany with a beige head. Aroma of yeast, cherries, wheat malt, and banana. Full bodied with a oily and sticky texture. Initial flavor of vanilla, cherries, plums that transitions to yeasty and dusty middle, with a moderate amount of residual sweetness. Finish has a touch of alcohol. This was good, but lacks a wow factor. At a 99 rating, I was expecting something much better. Perhaps some time in the cellar will improve this for my palate.

May 16, 2008 2007 vintage. Pours a deep amber with abundant beige head. Nice lacing in the glass. Has a powerful aroma of banana, pear, rose and pepper. Taste is similar with the addition of caramel, figs, and chocolate. Some higher alcohol notes as well. Finishes a little sweet.

May 16, 2008 Bottle. 2006 vintage. Aroma is complex and filled with notes of sweet dark dried fruits, raisins, plums, also grapes, spice, wood, caramel, some yeast, apple, vino, and port. Just fantastic! Pours a very deep sparkling burgundy hue. Average off-white frothy head that left fantastic lace and mostly diminished. Flavor is earthy and sweet. Plum and sherry tones with a earthy yeast midway to the finish. Rather full bodied and sticky but not too heavy. Oily texture with lively carbonation. An amazing presentation but was hoping for more in the flavor, however, this is a fantastic brew.

May 13, 2008 Pours dark brown with light brown head. Aromas of dark fruits and dough. Flavor is sweet with raisins, figs, caramel, and licorice. Alcohol is barely noticable giving a slight warming feeling. Medium body with tingly carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Another great brew from Het Anker.

May 11, 2008 Bottle. 2000 vintage bought at Alvinne brewery shop for about 6.5 Euro (!). 8.5% ABV according to the label. Dark brown color with deep red hues and a small to medium, quickly-diminishing, beige head. Sweet sugary-caramelly malt aroma with some berries and some plum notes. Very sweet flavor with big maltiness, brown sugar, loads of dark fruits and a sweet finish with a bit of yeast and spiciness and some alcoholic notes. Medium body which feels too light to handle the strong maltiness. This is too sugary (gets even a bit cloying) for me. This beer is still ok but I’m actually quite disappointed.
