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.

Nice aroma and well rounded head give way to a complex tase of bitter chocolate, mocha. One of my favorite porters.

Perhaps my favorite porter and the only beer I’ve ever bought because I craved its deliciousness. It pours dark with a nice thick head. Well-balanced blend of coffee and chocolate flavors with a good note of licorice. Drinkable in large quantities. After I finish writing this review, I may just find myself at the package store purchasing another six pack.

Beautiful dark dark brown witha nice frothy tan head. Rich and smooth flavors of chocolate and cofee. No bitter aftertase on the palate. An excellent drinking Porter. I shall buy many more of these. A great value. Cheers!

Oh very nice. Pour was very frothy with a thick dark brown head. Flavor is great. Along with a smooth mouthfeel with little aftertaste. Flavor is very carmel and malty with smooth toasted hoppiness. Pour is also nice and dark.

For me, it’s a tough choice between Anchor and Sierra Nevada for my favorite...you won’t go wrong with either. Beautiful color, and great head.

Very good porter. Slight coffee taste, but it tastes more like a beer than something from Starbucks, unlike some porters. Every tme I have it, it gets better and better.
