Dark. Malty. Those are probably the best two words to describe Anchor Brewing Co.'s Anchor Porter.
Anchor Brewing has been making this porter since 1972. Anchor Brewing has been craft brewing since before craft brewing became cool again. Anchor uses top fermenting yeast and natural carbonation which is basically the way home brewing is done. This, of course, is the way beer was traditionally made. And Anchor still uses a handmade copper brewhouse.
As you can see from the picture, this beer pours completely black. Its dark. This brew has a creamy head, smooth taste, and chocolate and coffee undertones. The two row barley malt is roasted to give this beer a unique malty flavor without being burnt. A generous amount of hops makes this beer slightly bitter. Overall, this is a very good dark beer and probably one of the best porters I've ever tried.
