Golden color. Medium carbonation. Aroma: some fruity notes but overwhelmed by the alcohol. Favor: some spices in the beginning ending in some hopbitterness but also now an overwhelming unbalanced alcohol warmness.

Bottle. Clear golden coloured with a rather large white head. Malty with notes of yeast, spices, alcohol and caramel. A bit onesided.

Golden colored, little white head.. Fruity and spicy, true Het-Anker aroma with rich hops, bitterness and licorice, yeast also can be recognised. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is nice with yeasty spices, nice fruits with this good licorice. Spices come up and last in aftertaste. Nice beer.

Bottled (thanks diabel!). Golden colour, mediumsized big white head. Aroma is malts, some alcohol and glue along with a bunch of spices. Flavour is alcohol, some malts, hops and very sweetish notes along with spices. The yeast becomes more evident as the beer warms up, and some caramelly notes make it a bit more fullbodied.

Bottle at Københavnske øldage 07. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is candissugar, dried fruits. Flavour is alcohol, yeast, dried fruits,spices. Nice beer.
