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.

I really enjoyed this beer. Very dark, very stout with tastes of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. Just don’t drink too many of them!

Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured a near black with a light brown head. Aroma was full of aggressive malts with just a touch of citrus hops. Flavor was very malty as well with a bit of a coffee flavor and again, just a bit of bitter hops. It was nice and thick on the tongue.

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep brown color, with tanned head and fair lacing. Aroma of dark fruit, juicy malt with a touch of nuts and yeast. Medium body with sweet malt, dark fruit and espresso coffee fill the mouth. Nice long dry finish. Great porter.

Great porter of a fine quality very impressive. A favorite great for a fishing trip or camping nice with marshmallows. Pours thick and dark black like an imperial stout and puts a smile on your face.

I haven’t had this porter in years, but the fact that my memory of it is so fond can only speak to its drinkability, or my naivete at the time. Let’s hope for the former.
