I originally was going to compare the 2006 and 2007 Anchor Christmas side by side for a vertical but Christmas plans got in the way and I ended up with a 16 hour gap between the two beers. So this isn't the greatest vertical.
This beer smells like caramel and a touch of spice. The color is an opaque black, with only a bit of foam on the top of the glass.
The taste is malty and earthy. The soda like sweet carbonation is present just like 2006, with a lot of carbonation on the tongue. The finish is again very bitter and leaving the back of my mouth watering from the bitterness. The beer finished with a dirt and bitter taste. The mouthfeel is thin and for such a malty beer.
This beer is no better than the 2006 Anchor Celebration. I can't compare the two side by side, but I don't care for either so I don't think such a comparison is necessary.
