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.

Poured from 22 oz. Dark brown, almost black, with huge frothy head. Mild nose of hops, malt, chocolate. Tastes of chocolate malt and hops coming through. Tasted better as it warmed up, with a nice dry finish. Overall very good.

Bottle. SOLID. Especially for something I can get all the time. Black Body, tan head. Smoked malty smell, almost a saltiness to it. Taste has coffee and licorice notes, but is also malty and sweet. Awesome.

TATE (120) - Lubec, Maine, USA - APR 11, 2009
12 oz bottle. This is a rich creamy porter with stong taste of chocolate malt. It has a slightly bitter beginning and a creamy malty end. Color is almost black with a good head. Aroma was a bit yeasty. This is only the second time I’ve had it and I would recommend for those that like porters. Not easy to find in my area.
