Commercial Description:
San Francisco's famous Anchor Porter brand is made in one of the smallest and most traditional breweries in the world by the brewers of Anchor Steam Beer. Our old-fashioned Porter is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of brewing. We use 100% malted barley, generous amounts of fresh, whole hops, entirely natural carbonation and a simple, natural brewing process which is like no other in the world. The deep black color, the thick, creamy head and the intensely rich flavor of Anchor Porter, made in San Francisco since 1974, have earned this delicious and unique brew a worldwide reputation for outstanding quality. It is aesthetically pleasing and wholly superior in every respect.

Bottle. SOLID. Especially for something I can get all the time. Black Body, tan head. Smoked malty smell, almost a saltiness to it. Taste has coffee and licorice notes, but is also malty and sweet. Awesome.

Chocolatey pour, fluffy brown head, serious lace, looks awesome. Sweet, tangy nut aroma. Sweet tangy nut aroma. Smokey nutty malts with some dark fruit hops in there. A bit of bitter worcestershire sauce and roasted caramel malt taste. Very good.

12 oz bottle. This is a rich creamy porter with stong taste of chocolate malt. It has a slightly bitter beginning and a creamy malty end. Color is almost black with a good head. Aroma was a bit yeasty. This is only the second time I’ve had it and I would recommend for those that like porters. Not easy to find in my area.

Bottle. Pours with a khaki head over a dark brown, near black body. Aroma is sweet chocolate, vanilla, cocoa, light banana esters, and light dark fruit notes. Taste is light roast and light bitterness with vanilla, sweet fruit and finishes slightly nutty. Light carbonation with a water like consistency.

Great porter. Nice mellow aroma of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor is packed with coffee, dark chocolate and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is very creamy, especially since the head lasts the entire glass.
