Anchor Porter

Black brown color with a red hue. Big foamy light brown head that trails lace down the glass. A distinct chocolate aroma - malty and no hop smell. A medium palate for a stout; its pleasant to find this black ale not too oily. Suble flavor not too burnt not bitter. A smigen of coffee and chocolate but still a traditional beer. This is a fine all around porter.

Deep midnight black, full and creamy off white head. All kinds of aroma in the nose. Roasted malt, licorice, raisins, hazlenut, chocolate, and a hint of coffee. Medium bodied and creamy on the tongue. Finishes mostly clean with a touch of bitterness from the hops. A very good porter, probably my best to date.

Wow, I was shocked with this beer becuase you can find it anywhere. It has so much chocolate in it. The mouthfeel is the best I’ve ever tasted in any beer.

I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to try this, its pretty easy to find (Relatively speaking). This is amazing stuff. It really reminds me of a trappist ale. This is the third porter I’ve rated (Bully Porter and Rogue mocha porter being the others). Its get a rare perfect rating. Beautiful dirty head, almost black body. Caramel, fruit (Can’t quite describe it), coffee in the palate followed with a burnt bitterness that balances it out. Wonderful aroma. Fig? Raisin? I don’t know. Just a great effort from Anchor.

A good porter. Nice aroma. Cofee finish. Pretty easy to drink for a porter.

12 oz bottle. I really enjoyed this beer. The color was as dark as strong coffee. I detected a hint of apple in the aroma. It has a nice thick head that holds up well.

dark burgundy with a small dense cream colored head. sweet malt and dark fruit aroma with a light earthiness to it. very smooth and creamy mouth feel. lots of chocolate and plums in the taste with a light roasted grain and nuttiness to it.

Bottle: Deep red colur,flat head. Aroma of lakris,coffee,tar,smokey,citric and a nice hopy end. Flavor is almost the same , but has not the dominas of smkenes that I will expeckted. Nice, smouth citric,spicy mouth feling. Thin to medium body end a medium finish. Nice Porter.
