Its not popular to say, but I’ve always regarded this one as mediocre. Its good, but there are so many good porters out there that blow this guy away - blackish brown pour with a medium head. Aroma is roasty and grainy. Flavor has a bit of coffee and hop presence with doses of chocolate and dark bread. Smooth finish, but again always boring to me. A classic, but not Anchor’s best.

Jul 26, 2008 Rather thin but dark pour with quite a huge brown head. The nose is dominated of burned malts with hints of caramels and coffee. I sense a bitter citrus flavour together with a nice roasted malty finish. The palate is too waterish imo.

Jul 22, 2008 Poured from bottle. Dark as a coke with a nice thick brown head. Smells malty but has a hint of cantaloupe. Very smooth and sweet flavors of coffee and chocolate. Nice and creamy on the tongue. Very nice.

Jul 22, 2008 Dark reddish black pour with beige head. Strong malty nose. Deep roasted malt flavor with a surprising sharp pang of bitter bite. Good to great.
