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.

Black pour with mahogany highlights and a dense, tan head. Soft dark fruit aroma, with cocoa, roast and a hint of pine. That flavor has lots of dark roast and hop bitterness with a healthy note of cherry, plum, and fig. Creamy medium body with moderate carbonation.

Bottle.. Pours black with a creamy light brown head..Aroma is slightly sweet with raisins and maybe a little soy sauce..Flavor is roasty with a hint of sweetness.. Body is thin with smooth carbonation.. This is a beer I could session all night long. And probably do other things to as well.. Giggity!

12 oz. into a snifter. Pours black with khaki head. Roasted malt and vanilla aroma. Medium bitter, lightly sweet. Medium heavy bodied, creamy feel, with light carbonation finishing sweet, dry then slight hop bitterness. Highly drinkable.

hogan873 (434) - Joliet, Illinois, USA - JUL 2, 2009
Very dark brown body with a beautiful frothy cappuccino head. Malty, sweet aroma...brown sugar, caramel, and a hint of vanilla. Thick, creamy mouthfeel. If the aroma is fantastic, the flavor is superb! Caramel, chocolate, and burnt sugar (think toasted marshmallows) melds to strong coffee and cream with a slightly bitter coffee grind bite. Very impressive beer. One of the finest porters I’ve tried.

Hopper (751) - The Alamo, Texas, USA - JUL 1, 2009
Pours a 1 finger head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee & chocolate. Taste is creamy with a sweet roasted malt taste that leaves a nice lacing on the glass.
