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 extremely dark brown with very little ruby light coming through with a one inch tan head that drops after a short while. Nose is malty sweet, but not very strong in statement. Flavor is robust and matured with slight chocolate and coffee tones...though I think I am drinking this too cold. It is definitely better as it warms. Mouthfeel is thick with a good carbonation and bubbly feeling. Highly drinkable. Could go for this one again, and again, and again.

Overall, great commercial porter. Pours nice and dark--mahogany/black with a nice head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, and some sweetness. Flavor is balanced nicely with great malt, a clean yeast throughout, followed by a chocolate malt bitterness. Bitter finish is well pronounced and dies rather quickly. Nice creamy mouthfeel as well. Great porter.

Anchor does most beers well. The porter was no exception. This beer poured rich and thick with a nice creamy head. Flavors of chocolate, caramel, toffee, and coffee were noticeable .

355 ml bottle. Black. Extremely big, creamy brown head. Coffee, chocolate, roasted/burnt malt, liqorice and some hoppy bitterness. Lovely «low-alcohol»-porter!

Bottle. Pours black with milk chocolate colored head. Aroma is of roasted malt, rich and with a hint of sweetness. Flavor character is roasty malts, rich with notes of chocolate and a slight smokiness. Decently bitter in the finish. Good stuff.

Bottle at ’Man In the Moon’ Sthlm. After a bad streak of drinking the poorer Anchor brews, this beer totally redeems Anchor in my eyes. Very smooth but rich at same time. Crystal and chocolate. Good stuff this.

My favorite of the Anchor brews. Nice dark chocolatey-brown appearance with a short, light-brown head. 12 oz. bottle.
