Wow! More of a chocolate stout than a simple porter. Great opaque brown-to-black body with a quickly vanishing tan head that leaves lacing on the side of the glass. Taste of chocolate, espresso, dark roasted malts, sour brown ale and hops hops hops. Nose of chocolate and hops. Good mouthfeel ... large and full.

Mar 20, 2010 To find this in a $.99 bargain bin was astounding. To reflect back that I only bought one was... I will go back Sunday to rescue all the other Anchor beers. I regress. Dark pour with a dark tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and sweet malt. Taste is roasted malt, low carbonation. Very tasty beer. Alcohol aroma more noticeable as it warms. Nice lacing. I really like the fact that I have less competition to buy great beers. I.E. The shop I go to still has Nemesis on the shelves.

Mar 19, 2010 Had this at the Rake Bar yesterday, small bar in borough market run by the same people as the Uttobeer stand. Barman recommended this for me. Great smell, hints of nuts. Lovely creamy light brown head. Big flavours, lots of caramel and coffee notes. Loved it.

Mar 15, 2010 Just a little sample. Not the great malty palate that I was expecting. Slightly yeasty aroma and a less than spectacular flavor. What gives?

Mar 13, 2010 Lovely deep black color, Wow. Thick and creamy head and a welcoming aroma when getting the first sip. A bit sweet and rosted malty aroma that lasts long with nice hoppy touch.
