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.

Pours black with tiny off white head. Aroma has chocolate and burned notes. Sweet burned flavor, coffee notes and chocolate. Old time porter that still rocks!

aroma of port/dark fruit, sweet malt, subtle coffee and a tiny plastic note. tastes as it promises with the dark fruit malty sweetness and nice amount of bitterness to finish. a little bit more hops would make this truly awesome.

Nose is on the weaker side with hints of caramel and cotton candy. Nice mocha head settles normally. some sticky sparse lacing on glass. Frothy and tingly at first mouthfeel. hints of toffe are overshadowed by the chocolate/patent malts. Smooth and rounded finsh does not weaken or diminish. Body is medium but on the higher end of that scale. A fine brew. Never disapoints.

one of the best porters i’ve had in a good while. it finishes well and keeps until the glass is empty.

A good solid porter. Tastes like coffee and chocolate with a similar finish, though the lingering taste is a bit bitter for me. Good solid beer, but I don’t know that I will get it again.

This is a nice smooth porter with a clean finish. There are some roasted flavors that are quite powerful then clear quickly leaving a lighter that a actual feel. Really good beer.

Nearly jet black with a fine, light brown head. The aroma is a bit fruity with coffee and some light burned notes. The flavour is full and round with fruity esters working their magic in company with the choco and malty notes. Round but a little thin in the body
