Trivia: in 1871 brewer Gottlieb Brekle arrived in San Francisco from Germany. He purchased an old beer-and-billiards saloon near Russian Hill and transformed it into the little craft brewery that — twenty-five years later — would be renamed Anchor.

Pours a dark brown colour with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, malts, malts, malts... You got that right, this is a malty brew, with a slight presence of citra hop in the aroma. Noticed caramel, toffee and hops. Very enjoyable Brown Ale.

Notes from October 2011 On tap @ Hop Devil Grill. Pint glasses are not yet extinct. Mud brown & amber color. Decent clarity. Transparent inch of off-white head. Doughy, barely nutty aroma. Ashy. Served too cold. Becomes more crusty as it warms. Flavor is acrid, nearly burnt malt. Dry toast. Earthy, root flavors. Bit of liquorice & faint coffee. Not very caramelized at all. Moderately bitter. Stiff carbonation that probably isn't what Anchor intended. Medium light body; textured feel. Alcohol isn't very noticeable for 6%. Decent bitter American brown, but there wasn't much nuttiness/depth in the roast.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Toffee, licorice and blackberries in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with caramel and blackberries. Pleasant fruity brown ale.

Bottle from Londis, Knighton, Leicester. Mid- to dark brown, translucent with a tight khaki head. Aroma is gentle but still pretty stunning: oak, chocolate, black raspberry, marshmallow. There's a surprising amount of hoppy bitterness in the initial sip, and what sweetness there is fades in the finish. Body's really watery. Heavily carbonated. All in all it is a delicious brown.

Bottled. Cloudy chestnut brown. Small beige head. Rich malts form the nose: caramel, toast, honey. Citrusy hops are well in front. Light to medium body. Medium sweet an decently bitter taste. Rich malts. Citra hops. I liked it definitely.

Wenig Carbo, dunkelbraun, in der Nase schöne Nalznoten mit einer gewissen Fruchtigkeit. Im Trunk malzig süffig, leichte Schokonoten mittig, hinten bitter. Schöne Komposition!
