Anchor Porter

A black beer with a light brown head. The aroma is slightly smokey - but not enough for a porter. And the flavor is dominated by a sweet smoked taste - not my preference of a porter because of too little smoked malt - but a nice beer.

(Bottle, 35,5 cl) All the Anchor beers wakes up good memories from my US road trips back in the 90es. Oh sweet innocence... Tar-like blackness with a slightly creamy, brownish head. No extra added fermentables or carbon dioxide. Fat and powerful, sweet almost port-like with a dry hoppiness on the palate. Very interesting Porter.

Near black. Nice chocolate aroma. Slightly sweet in the nose. Richly malty. Hints of licorice. Balanced bitterish finish. Very good!

From tap at Ølbaren. Pours dark brown to black, little red hue and a dense tan/brown head. Roasted malt aroma, mild coffee note. Caramel malt, chocolate and a smooth roasted note following. Minor liqourice note. Ends with a smooth chocolate and light roasted note.

Bottle. Black body. NIce brown head. Malty flavor that is smokey. Smooth, but no my favorit porter

Bottled. Black opaque, brown huge foamish head. Fruitish and roasted aroma, with some caramellish hints. Sweetish banana flavour at first, and the sweetness grows in finish and then turns into a grapefruitish dryness in aftertaste. Mouthdrying.

Bottle. Black colour with light brown head. Aroma of malt, pineapple, licquorice. Quite roasted, maltyflavour with a hint of sourness. Aftertaste is a good balance between sweet and bitter. 6 4 7 4 15

Bottle, 5.6%. Sweet coffee aroma. The flavour also has sweet coffee notes. Fresh-ground coffee aftertaste. 6 3 6 3 16

Dark brown with a small creamy beige head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate with notes of liquorice and nuts. Flavour of coffee and chocolate, with notes of liquorice, that ends up with a nice bitterness. One of the best porters I’ve had.
