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.

This is part of a beer club tasting. Only had one bottle but it was a decent taste for the price. Would like to try again after it poured great and left a nice after taste.

Had this brew with a small brick of sharp cheddar and loved em both. Very smooth if a little watered down, but barely. Pours a dark chocolaty brownish pour with minimal brown head. Nose is huge on chocolate and dark malts. Flavor is as well with nice coffee attribute. Solid.

Um Um good. This is a damn good dark robust porter. Very chocolaty and nutty. The alcohol is present and blends very well.

(bottle): Pours a dark black-brown color. Big light brown head, good lacing. Dark heavy aroma, chocolate and some alcohol. Chocolately roasted taste, with some alcohol. Soft mouthfeel, fizzy. Somewhat acidic with meat pizza. An okay porter.

Bottle. Pours deep brown / black with decent foamy head. Aroma is chocolatey / malty with a rich and smooth finish. Taste is of liquorice and coffee. Not bad.

The color is absolutely perfect. Rich flavor, but not overpowering really. And though it is a porter I didn’t find it as filling. The head is a nice beige and has a coffee/toasted scent.
