| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 4, 2009 On tap at the Lancaster location. Brewed coffee aroma, fairly strong and musky. Light bitter coffee ground aroma with some chocolate and malty sweet aroma. Dark brown-black with creamy tan lacing head. Medium watery body with smooth carbonation. Starts with roasted grain, chocolate, coffee, and mild vanilla. Light dry hop bitter finish with some lingering lactose sweetness in the after. Well balanced and smooth - really more like a sweet stout than a porter but I still have not figured out the difference between an impy porter and a stout. Dry nutty coffee bitter after.

Poured dark black with a nice brown head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of strong roasty coffee, light vanilla and chocolate. Mouthfeel is dry but has a nice body.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 15, 2009 On tap at Iron Hill in Media, PA (05/26/09). I took one whiff of this one and knew it was a winner. Black in color with a dense beige nitro head. Aroma is of coffee, espresso, and roasted malts. Taste is of chocolate and coffee. A very creamy smooth body. JCB (1751), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 23, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Searched the database and didn’t find anything close, so here we go. Served in a tall pilsner-like glass, the creamy dark body sits impressively, topped by a milky thick two-finger head. The nose isn’t as bold as I’d like for the style, but it’s still an inviting blend of lactic notes, mildly roasted malts, and only modest coffee. Mouthfeel is excellent, nicely creamy, and the base porter (Pig Iron?) is rich and drinkable, if not overly complex. It doesn’t really stand out as a coffee porter so much, but it’s certainly a very tasty beer. runandrow (8), Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 22, 2009 Medium to thin bodied beer with a small tan head. The flavor was of caramel and chocolate malts, bitter coffee, and a very faint hop flavor. The alcohol was well hidden. This was the least sweet coffee porter/stout that I have tried. I prefer my coffee beers a little sweeter and less watery then this.
