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.

Dark brown, almost black with a tan/brown head. Coffee and chocolate dominate the flavors. One of, if not the best porters I’ve had.

Pours black with dark ruby highlights and small beige head. Toffee nose, rich and creamy on the tongue. Wonderful balance between roastiness and sweetness with a nice chocolate flavor and subdued hop bitterness. One of the best porters you’ll ever have.

My first porter. Rich roasted malted barley, very lite bitterness. Dark black in color. Flavors of coffe, chocolate. Complexity never tasted so good. Top two beers for me.
