Anchor Porter became the first modern American porter style beer when it was introduced in 1972. A blend of specially roasted pale, caramel, chocolate, and black malts, along with our top-fermenting yeast, creates complexity without bitterness. The brew is hopped at a high rate, and naturally carbonated. The result is dark in the glass, but surprisingly light on the palate.

(Bottle, 35,5 cl) All the Anchor beers wakes up good memories from my US road trips back in the 90es. Oh sweet innocence... Tar-like blackness with a slightly creamy, brownish head. No extra added fermentables or carbon dioxide. Fat and powerful, sweet almost port-like with a dry hoppiness on the palate. Very interesting Porter. 3.0

355ml bottle, forgotten where I purchased this. Was in the fridge but had left it out for an hour. Black pour, with small beige head. Aroma of liquorice, coffee, treacle, chocolate, figs. Very inviting. Taste is quite dry and liquorice noted, before other elements come in, quite rich, tangy and bitter. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. I would have liked a bit more fruitiness to offset the rich notes more but for me that that's the only difference between a very good beer and a great beer.

Legendaria Porter que sentó las bases del estilo. De color negro, con leves destellos marrones, algo turbia y gran espuma compacta de color marfil.
Aromas muy definidos, se nota perfectamente un ligero torrefacto acompañado de notas a café y algo de chocolate que invitan a probarla. Muy buena sensación en boca con carbonatación media/alta y sabores que van desde el torrefacto al café, con un final ligeramente amargo que dejan un agradable retrogusto.
Una de las mejores en su estilo.

Bottle. Black, dark brown lacing cream. Licorice and roast aroma, light umami. Medium full body, mellow, creamy. Dry, roasted, dark cocoa, salt licorice, a hint soy sticking, good bitter backbone, coffee retronasal. Intense, satisfying sip.
