"Anchor Steam derives its unusual name from the 19th century when "steam" seems to have been a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. "
So now you know.
This is a toffee coloured beer with a small white head.
It has a light, malty nose and on the palate it's bitter with smoe caramel, dark toffee flavours.
It's quite a flavoursome beer and is medium bodied witha slightly full mouth feel.
It reminded me a lot of bitters from England, like Theakstons (I think...it's been a while), that you get on tap in proper pubs in the country.
This is a very nice bitter beer.
