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 at Wetherspoons, Wokingham, 27th July 15. Black, aroma, burnt, cocoa, chocolate, malts. Taste is burnt, creme brûlée, caramel, ash, sweet, but with bittering hops cutting through. Pretty nice, and punches above its ABV

Negra profunda, opaca. Bonita espuma ocre, muy cremosa y con forma, abundante. Aroma complejo, café, malta tostada.. Muy cremosa en boca y agradable. Cuerpo moderado y carbonatación media. Inicio dulce y frutal que va evolucionando a un amargor marcado y seco de café, dejando un postgusto muy duradero en el que en medio de un fuerte amargor recuerda de nuevo tonos dulces. Muy buena.
