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.

One of the best porters, if not the best this mojoman has had. Rich with a nice burnt molasses taste. Especially fine with a good cigar.

Pours with a huge cream/tan colored, long-lasting head. Wonderful sweet chocolate aroma with hints of roasted malt. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Chocolate flavour to start with bitter roasted flavors to finish. A classic American porter.

Big roasty malt nose and a near-black color. Tastes of chocolate and carmel mixed with espresso undertones. The flavor profile on the brew lasts forever - seemed like it stayed in my mouth for a minute!. Started with a warm and full mouth feel that rose to the roof of my mouth. Went out with a gritty, bitter finish. Great stuff. Not good for making stout or porter pancakes, though. Anchor is just a damn good brewery. I like to drink heavy beers like this with light foods, like a salad, but this doesnt need any help - its a meal of its own.

Mild nose, strong sweetish coffee and chocolate flavors, rich mouthfeel. Looks good in the glass, too.
