Commercial Description:
For the Christmas and New Year festivities the Gouden Carolus range is now extended to include this seriously heavy strong brown ale. Het Anker are thus rekindling a long lost tradition from the days of yore when they marketed Cardinal Christmas and Anker Christmas.

no. 52. And the second real disappointment of the party for me. The aroma was very gross, like sour milk. An untasty, icky beer.

Draught at "Den Tatoverede Enke" Clear dark red/brown - white head. A lot of licorice, high hopped, red berries, sharp hoppy, very nice.

På fad 2006, Den tatoverede enke. Klar mahognifarve med lyst skum. Dufter af kirsebær, heksehyl og lidt skolekridt men også julekrydderier. Smager af de samme ting. Er dejlig og ikke så tung som frygtet.

Vintage 2003. Pours a clear brown with a dissappearing head. Very sweet and portish. Strong notes of nuts. Full bodied with a sticky mouthfeel. Long sweet finish.

loudy orange with tan fluffy head. Aroma of figs, dates, raisins, cotton candy, and just general sweetness. Flavor was very sweetly malted with notes of dark fruits, raisins and plums...a very nice Christmas beer.
