200 vintage tasted at the Kulmintor in September 2008. Murky orange with light tan head, surprisingly lively for its age. Aroma of caramel and honey. Full-bodied. Taste of raisins and banana bread. Licorice finish. No bitterness. Mellow.
[i](75 cl bottle at Bishops Arms, V Hamng, Göteborg)[/i]Shared with rigk and a non-ratebeer friend2001 vintage, labeled "Mechelse Reuzen"Orange, shady, particle filled look, very small white head. Dry oak, wood, alcohol, sweet and spicy scent. Spicy sweet and dry, but VERY mellow, taste.WOW, the scent and taste really differ from each other.A bit sweet licorice aftertaste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Alcohol aftertaste. Taste is also grainy and malty.
Bottled (2002 vintage). Golden colour, small beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, a lot of nuts, some spices, caramel malts, fudge, alcohol, herbs, grass and lots more. Flavour is alcohol, fruits, honey, spices and mild notes of yeast. A complex beer, that has aged really well. Wellbalanced and superb.
(rather aged sample) Clear gold, end more hazy; slim white head. Alcoholic, sweet, but great - typical ’t Anker - raisins-like aroma. Drier nose than most GC beers, some portwine. A bit cheesy taste, quite alcoholic and very sweet. VERY full mouthfeel, alcohol more than obvious, dry. Very well-aged beer, sweetish alcoholic, but balanced with infinitesimal flavours and aromas. Great beer found at ’t Brugs Beertje.
