<i>Original Rating Oct 23, 2002:</i> Mmmmmm... Anchor Porter. Cold espresso with some roasted malt added. Very fine. 9/5/8/5/18 <i>Re-rate Aug 9, 2008:</i> Ah early ratings... It’s about time I got back to this one. Dark brown color with a large, long lasting head. Sweet malt and lightly toasted aroma. Bitter roasted malt taste, almost astringent. A little bit of coffee and chocolate. Still a staple Porter, but nowhere near "the shit" that I originally thought this was. But who could blame me? It was one of my first real beers!

Nov 20, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a tan head, tiny bubbles, fair duration, no lacing, over a dark clear body...nose of bread, yeast, coffee, molasses, very minimal hop....tastes of roasted malts, coffee, mild bitterness in the finish....rich mouthfeel, no sharpness, perhaps a little light. 11/07/2008

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Now that is a robust mofo of a porter. Chocolatey and roasty aroma. Pretty damn delicious. Finish lasts forever with vanilla and roasty tobacco-y flavors. Top-notch.

Oct 30, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Deep brown but clearly not black. Tan frothy head with some decent lacing. Fruity chocolate cordial aroma. Flavor is chocolate malt balls with a hint of red fruit and a nice roasty bitter finish. Light bodied and smooth, very drinkable. A porter with no frills, just quality.

Oct 27, 2008 Brewed in the USA !! (KSBF) Pours a lovely dark brown color with a med tan head. This porter has a nice chocolate malt aroma with a mild coffee, dark fruit taste. The mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side but quite refreshing.

Oct 27, 2008 Looks great. Is opaque dark brown and the tan head is thick and luscious. Lacing is lovely. Aroma is pure quality. Roasted malt, fun asphalt smells, chocolate, rich enticing earth. Creamy, gulpable mouthfeel. Chocolate, cream, mellow, balanced, nothing burnt, nothing bitter. Just nice quality creamy chocolate-forward porter. A really solid go-to beer!
