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. Poured a dark brown with a thin brown head into an English pint glass. Aroma of malt, chocolate and coffee. Flavor was awesome with balanced malt and coffee tones with a chocolate finish. Great beer.

Bottled 355ml. It pours a very dark beer with a beautiful reflect of ruby. Strongly tanned mocha head. The aroma is mainly of dark chocolate, licorice and raisins. Full bodied and extremely rich. Nicely malty. Dry. Low bitterness. Beautiful lace, excellent appearance. Sweet. Licorice in the finish. Very pleasant, nothing more. Remarkably low carbonation.

Bottle. Aroma of molasses, caramel, brown sugar, sweet malt. Flavor rich with all these weighty, sweet notes, maybe even some vanilla in there. Not really my kind of porter, but interesting and enjoyable.

355 ml bottle. Black. Tall beige head that clings to the glass. Strong licorice aroma with a hint of anise and lemon curd. Dark chocolate and a little vanilla. Fairly high carbonation level without being fizzy. Feels quite sweet, but is balanced by bittering hops. Intensely aromatic. Very complex, but still a light and very drinkable beer. A very nice porter. Reminds me a little of a Taddy porter as it has much the same characteristics.

[Drauhgt at Tatoverede Enke] So smooth and wellbalanced that I can drink it for hours. One of my favorite beers, which I always buy more than one of.
