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.

LEGEND KING JAMES ALE

Celebrating 400th anniversary of early American settlement, Jamestown, this maroon-bodied ruby-garnet-highlighted porter boasts strong coffee bean aroma and brown chocolate sweetness. Toffee, licorice, dried fruit, and earthen nut illusions trapped by astringently ashy peppered hop char. Tertiary black cherry, fruitcake, and peppermint hints scarcely register.
