ANCHOR PORTER

Tipo: Porter
Fermentación: Alta
Alcohol: 5,6%
Brewery: Anchor Brewing Co. San Francisco,USA

Cata: Color escuru  la espuma ye marronuzca y duradera. L'arume principal ye'l torrefactu pero alviertense tamién notes de chocolate, prunos asaos y el lixeru t. Na boca los sabores a cafe torrefactu y chocolate tornen n'un agradable dulzor a malta torrao redondeada por l'equilibrau aporte del lúpulo.Una cerveza xenial, que recuerda a les porter tradicionales londinenses si dexar por ello de tener una personalidá propia y xenuina que la faen unu de los meyores exemplos de cerveza estadounidense independiente.//Dark in colour with ruby red undertones especially seen trhough direct light. The creamy head is almost brown and has a good retention. The first aromas are those of black coffee, chocolate and sweet dark malts mixed with the subtle touch of hops. In mouth it has a moderate yet not light body, the alcohol is well accomplished and the palate is that of dark coffee, chocolate and sweet roasted malts rounded at the end by a great hops' bitterness really well integrated which makes the sip a more than satisfying experience. An extraordinary American example of London Porter without letting aside its own personality and characters which have made of it one of the most interesting American independent beers.
