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 - 3/19/05 - The pour is pitch black. When it comes to smell, taste, and finish the overriding theme for me is chocolate, a little banana. I smell banana, caramel, chocolate...very nice. The taste is heavy chocolate, sweet, hint of banana. Finish is chocolaty. Very litte bitterness in aftertaste. Well balanced. I most definitely will drink this again...One of the best brews I’ve had.

Bought it for a recipe and had one while i was cooking. WOW! powerful, really coats your mouth with a toffee flavor. A lot of rosted flavor with a 60 second finish. this is a belly-filler!

Really good....Chocolate bar flavor, with a shot of espresso. Thick and smooth mouthfeel, with a fair amount of carbonation.

A lot of dark chocolate and coffee with a creamy mouthfeel. A lingering finish that’s very nutty. Earthy and rich.

Very dark pour with a small tan head that dissolved rather soon. Taste is rich with roasted maltiness, molasses, coffee, and chocolates. Solid taste throughout the glass, excellent porter.

12 oz. bottle. Black with tan head. Rich aroma of malt, coffee, caramel and toffee. Coffee, charcoal, raisins in the flavor with some citrusy hops. Creamy mouthfeel. Very rich and pleasant. Some bottles have been much hoppier than this one.

Had beer April 1999. Color is a solid black, carbonation looks a bit low as well as head. Aroma is a rich roasted malt scent. Taste is sweet, rich and smooth. It starts with a rich roasted body that goes down smooth. The finish is a wonderful slightly sweet roasted malt flavor that is followed up with an evenly balanced hop bitterness and light hop flavor.
