BiddleBrau (303), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Feb 27, 2008 Updated: Dec 17, 2008Pours black with dark ruby highlights and small beige head. Toffee nose, rich and creamy on the tongue. Wonderful balance between roastiness and sweetness with a nice chocolate flavor and subdued hop bitterness. One of the best porters you’ll ever have. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Feb 25, 2008 Paors dark, almost black. Thick one finger head. Aroma of toffee and coffee. Taste of coffee cocoa. Has a disctinctive smoke taste to it. Bitter finish creeps up on you, Rich mouth feel. I rememebr this fondly from my SF days (late 90’s). Was a great beer then. Still is. NoiZe (1288), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands Feb 25, 2008 Dark black oily color. Roasted malts in the aroma. Coffee, dark chocolate malts. Balanced sweetness, licorice taste. Very balanced. Very pleasant brew, could use some more bitterness though. ebrowner88 (113), Rice, Minnesota, USA Feb 23, 2008 as perfect as a poter can be. not too sweet, not to smokey. it is perfectly balanced. if this is your first porter, you will be spoiled. This is one of my top 3 beers of all time. kennydiaz (182), staten island, New York, USA Feb 23, 2008 THIS IS MY FAVORITE PORTER. ITS DARK RICH COLOR AND TASTE ARE EXCEPTIONAL. A MUST TRY FROM A GREAT BREWERY. chokmah33 (115), Bremerton, Washington, USA Feb 22, 2008 Updated: Jun 9, 2008AROMA: Pear banana hops accompained by cookie + burnt carmel malts.
PALATE: Syrupy texture.
Coffee bitter finish with legs.
FLAVOR: Light floral hops up front. Bitter charcoal + coffee mid mellowing to medium toasted malts, chocolate and licorice. With a rich mocha aftertaste, this porter is a real treat, like sippin hot cocoa next to a campfire, in the woods. Trev (849), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Feb 21, 2008 Pours a dark black with a nice creamy tan head. Sweet aroma, caramel and coffe tones, toasty malt, some discernable hop.
Bitter chocolate flavour with smooths out into a deep coffee and fruity raisin sweetness.
Very tasty. mgoy (343), Oak Brook, Illinois, USA Feb 20, 2008 Updated: Mar 30, 2008Anchor Porter is a dark beer with a light brown head. A slight smokey aroma is intriguing, but not very strong. With a creamy body, this beer is very smooth and very enjoyable.
