Apr 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours very dark with a tan head. Nice lacing. Aroma is a bit of chocolate and coffee. Taste is great, with a lot of chocolate malt, but has a dry ending with a nice bit of hops. A pretty harty porter - very close to stout. Very nice.

Apr 21, 2008 The first porter I ever had. Pours a deep dark brown colour with a fairly large head. very smooth and chocolatey like flavor. A nice sweet caramel finish and roasted malts.

Apr 21, 2008 Light brown head. Black colour. Aroma is malty with coffee, dark chocolate and light nutty notes.
Flavor is malty too with banana, hoppy and roasty tones, ending in a balanced moderately malty finish. Light bodied.

Apr 18, 2008 It seems there are a lot of people who really enjoy this beer. I would like to try it again, because a lot of these notes are old and I remember not being overly impressed by this porter. The malt profile is extremely rich and roasty at the beginning, with some slight cocoa dustiness, but just dropped right off in the finish which I found to be somewhat chalky, a tad smoky and very dry.

Apr 14, 2008 Dark black pour with a creamy tan head. Nice aromas of roasted malts and coffee, with hints of fruit. Good flavor too, coffee fruit chocolate and vanilla come through. Actually much better than I was expecting.

Apr 14, 2008 (Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 12 April 2008) Black colour with ruby hints, creamy pale brown colour. Roasted, malty nose with notes of chocolate, coffee and hints of smoke, tar and ashes. Roasted, malty taste with tar, liquorice, chocolate, vanilla, toffee, dark fruit and cocoa bitterness. Slightly sweet. Lovely, complex porter with lots of character.
HonkeyBra (1258), Lemont, Illinois, USA
Apr 12, 2008 Pours pitch black with a nice milk chocolate colored head. The beer looks great. The aroma is chocolate, burnt malt, some coffee. The taste is the same, chocolate and coffee very well-balanced. Mouthfeel is perfect for a porter. I admire Anchor, because you can tell they put a lot into their beers. Always a good choice.
