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.

Bottle. Smoky cocoa malt and hops aroma. Dark black-brown color with moderate tan head. Initially a slight burnt coffee that quickly fades to creamy chocolate with a mild hops finish. Long lasting flavor. A bit on the heavy side for a porter but other than that, very good.

Small, creamy, brown head. Opaque black body. Dense, sweet, harmonic aroma of licorice and coffee. Again dense, almost sourish taste of roastiness, coffee, and lingering driness with notes of wild berries. Mouthfeel somewhat watery. Lingering sweetness with marzipan notes. A very good porter, reminiscent of Sam Smith’s Taddy Porter, but not as good.

Delightful porter. Rich backbone malt with excellent lace on tap. Hop character strong, but not overpowering. Savory at room temperature.

Bottle. Pours with a khaki head over a dark brown, near black body. Aroma is sweet chocolate, vanilla, cocoa, light banana esters, and light dark fruit notes. Taste is light roast and light bitterness with vanilla, sweet fruit and finishes slightly nutty. Light carbonation with a water like consistency.

Medium, fugaceous, light brown head. Brown color with some red hues. Sweet, malty, chocolate aroma, almost milk chocolate. Very rich chocolate/coacoa flavor with some roastiness. Slightly bitter after-taste. Powdery mouthfeel. Rich, intense, I love this beer !
