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.

12oz bottle from The Party Source. Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Incredibly malty aroma with vanilla and some roastiness. Flavor is of malt, a bit of alcohol, vanilla, chocolate and coffee in the finish. Very good.

Deep clear brown, nearly opaque, ruby highlights around the edges. Thick rocky beige head. Aromas of coffee and charred peanut shells, a touch of honey and cut grass. Burnt sugar flavors, like a marshmallow blackened over a campfire, with vanilla. Crisp bitterness with dark berry and floral notes. Finishes thick around the tongue, leaving caramel that fades to bitter like coffee grounds.

Very good porter, well balanced and well made. This beer had a very pronounced raisin taste to it, which was surprisingly pleasant. I will definitely buy this beer again.
