I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to try this, its pretty easy to find (Relatively speaking). This is amazing stuff. It really reminds me of a trappist ale. This is the third porter I’ve rated (Bully Porter and Rogue mocha porter being the others). Its get a rare perfect rating. Beautiful dirty head, almost black body. Caramel, fruit (Can’t quite describe it), coffee in the palate followed with a burnt bitterness that balances it out. Wonderful aroma. Fig? Raisin? I don’t know. Just a great effort from Anchor.

Aug 20, 2008 Chocolate aroma, slightly smoky, sweet. Chocolate taste, nice bitterness in the end along with sweet notes. I like this a lot more than in the first try, the mouthfeel is soft and rich. A very good beer.

Aug 19, 2008 Poured from tap black with a mocha colored medium sized head. Aromas of sweet malt and roast grain. Flavor is mildly sweet with malt, toffee, soft roast grain and coffee. Palate has a smooth feel with a light grain bitter-sweetness at the end. Not too thick, not too thin. Great porter for most occasions.

Aug 15, 2008 Remarkably complex flavor - toffee, chocolate, ripe fruit, peanut brittle, hoppy bitterness, and even a touch of alcohol. Could use a bit more body, but I’m not complaining. Good beer.

Aug 15, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown with a large creamy beige head. The aroma is chocolate, barley, slight roast, and dark fruit. The flavor has creamy semi sweet chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit, anise, and a nice touch of bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, smooth, very enjoyable. Nothing is over the top, just a well crafted porter
