Anchor Porter

pours a beautiful dark brownish black with a frothy cream colored head. aroma is like a caramel mocha minus the sweetness, with a milky cream and roasty malt. taste is roasty coffee, some chocolate, some cream. emphasis on the roasty quality, great taste! great balance. bubbly mouthfeel, not as full bodied as i had expected. an excellent porter, i think if you want to know what a porter should taste like this is the most readily available good example of the style. will definately buy again any time of year.

quite flaverfull. you can taste the roasted malt. low hops taste. with an Average length of aftertaste

Pours a dark brown/red/black. leaves a medium head which lasts for a decent period of time. Aroma is light and pleasing, taste is thick and satisfying.

Pours dark brown with nearly perfect looking, but small head. Clover like aroma. Flavor is a but sweet but full malt with a balance of hops. Palate full but a bit watery. Good dark beer.

bottle: pours a dark crimson brown eith a large creamy tan head with some lacing. aroma is a sweet candy caramell with a light creamy chocolate, some roastedness and a nice grainy scent. just afew wafts of hops come thru. flavour is excellent, perfect blend of roast and chocolate, small amounts of a good caramel malts int eh background. a wonderful almost burntness also thru the back.a real good bitter chocolate and hop bitter to finish. great beer.

One of the best American Porters. Relatively high alcohol content gives this beer an almost wine-like flavor. Dark brown with decent head. Slightly thin or would be rated even higher.

Tap. Dark black with a nice tan head. Very roasty, burnt malt. I enjoyed in bottle for years and enjoyed on tap even more. Not as thick as some other porters you may come across.

taste and smell of dark chocolate and sweet fruits. smooth and creamy with a bitter dry finish. nice beer...
