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.

regspeir (184) - Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 6, 2010
A: dark with chocolate-colored edges. Pour created a large creamy, coffee-colored head which settled quickly, leaving a lasting lace. S: sweet molasses/caramel and fruit with faint alcohol tinge. T: Starts smooth and sweet with flavors of toffee, caramel and molasses. Malts and fruit predominate until the hops and carbonation take over. D: I have had this a LOT and it’s priced reasonably for a left coast offering,

On tap at the Cambria Pines Lodge during the family get away. Nice and dark with a solid tand head that left gooey lace. Nose roast malt and nutty. Taste light bitter and yeast. Malt ball chocolate peeking out. I’ve definitely tasted worse porters.

cprochak (581) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAR 28, 2010
12 oz bottle pours dark brown with hints of ruby in the light. Nice tan head that fades quickly but has beautiful lacing. Caramel and coffee dominate the aroma. Nice light sweetness with a mild bitter chocolate finish. Very light carbonation with a little slick, oily mouthfeel. Otherwise, a fantastic example of the style.
