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.

Opaque dark ruby, fluffy mocha head. Nose is rum, burned malts, banana syrup and dry fruits. Similar burned and rum fruity flavor, alcohol, and a herbal finish. Quite light bodied. Very old school feeling, I’d like it a bit thicker.

I was surprised at how dark and thick this beer poured. With its thick flow to its brown head, this resembled a coffee stout more than a porter in appearance. The smell is a lovely, deep chocolate licorice and the taste and mouthfeel is creamy and chocolatey. This beer is so full bodied and full flavored that you’d guess it was a stout. This could be dessert.

Chocolate smell, ruby dark brown/black in colour. Beautifully smooth mouthfeel, creamy texture. Very pleasant toffee, coffe, licorice, anise flavours. A treat.
