ANCHOR PORTER
Magnificent black-hued, thick tan-headed, chocolate-scented porter enriches creamy coffee frontage with burnt maple caress. Syrupy yeast linger usurps sugary mocha sweetness adjoining toasted hop bitterness, creating full-bodied chocolate liqueur-styled malt brew. Everything you’d hope for. As label indicates, “aesthetically pleasing and wholly superior.””

LEFT HAND BLACK JACK PORTER
Bold, creamy, frothy, ruby-hued London-style porter pours like molasses with cascading bubbles forming eggshell head. Compares favorably to thick chocolate milkshake, as splendid sweet-sour chocolate-vanilla fluctuation succinctly enhances chewy raisin-date overtones. Dry malts, smoked barley, and flowery spiced hops caress chalky mocha undercurrent. As if that’s not great enough, its rich finish recalls marvelous full-bodied milk stouts.

Toffee, licorice, dried fruit, and earthen nut illusions trapped by astringently ashy peppered hop char. Tertiary black cherry, fruitcake, and peppermint hints scarcely register.
