Anchor Beer Company: Our Special Ale 2003


Beer: Our Special Ale 2003
Brewery: Anchor Beer Company, California
Category: Holiday Seasonal

The Drinker: Ben

Grade: B

Location purchased/drank: Whole Foods/Home

Served from a :
Bottle

The Drink: An aged beer, 5 years. Syrupy in pour and texture. Sweet, too. Fruit notes, like red wine. Very quick dissipation of the head, but I suppose that is what is expected. The color is a dark cherry brown.

Notes: This was our first time buying an aged beer at a store. We had planned on buying the 2006, but we lucked out with 2 bottles of the 2003. We thought that we had got the whole six pack for cheaper, but it was just two random bottles in our pack. It was exciting, and definitely worth a taste if you ever get a chance.
