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.

C’est un Porter surprenant en fait... Il est presque pétillant en bouche, me rappelant une certaine Noire de Chambly (Unibroue). C’est plutôt piquant en bouche et l’équilibre est excellant. Pas trop fumé, juste assez mordant, sans être trop sucré. Rien de "wow" mais plus que respectable.

Opaque black beer with a decent beige head. It’s a typical porter but a seriously good one. Malty aroma, vanilla, chocolate and coffee. Nice bittersweet aftertaste.

Bottle at the Free Press, Cambridge. Incredibly dark brown with a nice looseish tan/khaki head and generous lacing. Liquorice, coal, slate aroma: dark things. A candied sweet taste competes with fresh hop bitterness. Tastes stronger than it is, which is no bad thing. Soft but effective carbonation. A top porter.

355 ml bottle. Pours an opaque, black with an average, creamy, brown head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, liquorice and a hint of smoke in the aftertaste with a dry bitter finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation.

Dark brownish color with a fine beige head. Ok lacing. Bready, coffee and roasted aroma. Medium (+) body. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Average to soft carbonation. Toffee, coffee, roasted and a bit fruity flavor. Nice and tasty porter.
