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.

TheBeerOrg (1978) - Crestwood, Kentucky, USA - SEP 27, 2005
UPDATED: JAN 28, 2006 Pours near black with reddish hues and a mostly maintained mocha head. Aroma is sweet roasted malts, with notes of vinous wort with chocolate and coffee goodness. Tastes of dark bread with notes of chocolate, earthy toasted malts, caramelized wort, and raisins. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Surprisingly the hops are not overwhelmed by the other beer dimensions. Exceptionally balanced. A mellow, delightful porter.

Quevillon (1955) - Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 2, 2008
Bouteille de 1Pt et 6oz, acheté à City Market (Burlington, Vermont) le 25/9/08. Brune cola, moyen collet. Arome de malte cafiné, avec des notes de ptits fruits alcoolisé. Goût bien malté, sensation de choco café, avec une finission de fruits rouges légèrement sûrette. Un bon porter malté et un peu sucré, simplement agréable!

12 oz bottle. Dark dark pour. Decent head that faded. Chocolate aromas that melded into the flavor. Porter dustiness on the finish. Pretty good for a porter.
