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.

355ml brown bottle. Pours deep brown/black, head is tan and creamy, displays good lacing. Chocolately malt nose. Flavour is also chocolately, roasty, hint of licorice in the finish with some hop notes, some lasting bitterness. Dry. Smooth body, mild carbonation, good drinkability. Been waiting quite a few years to see this here and I’m glad it’s finally here.

A very swillable Porter . Just stick a case in the fridge and it would be gone in 24 hours type of enjoyment. An eazy profile . Chocoalte and raisins ..big rich palate , never cloying. Light bitter hop aromatics in the back.

mybrainhurts (334) - North Dakota, USA - MAY 1, 2010
Rich chocolate, roasted malt aroma. Flavors of chocolate, rum cake, roasted salted nuts, and a splash of smoke. Full, well rounded beer. A top one for sure.

HighWine (397) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 24, 2010
Ebony color with a foamy egg shell, almost tan, head. The head thins down after a few minutes but leaves a film on the top of the beer and laces well on the glass. Nose is sweet caramel, burnt sugar, and charcoal. Full bodied taste, very roasty with a subtle bitterness. Slightly boozy. Great palate -- very full for a porter and the roast flavor lingers long. Really a great beer and an excellent representative for the style.
