pours rubyish dark brown with a light brown head. Slight notes of coffee on the nose. Some chocolate notes on the tongue but a lot thinner then I was hoping for. Finishes dry which could make it suitable for session drinking.

Draught, Maple Shade. Dark with a tan head. Roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, and a light smoke in the aroma. Full bodied. Robust roast malts, coffee, deep chocolate goodness, and nice dark caramel. Such a smooth, lasting Porter. Excellent beer.

Pours dark brown/close to black with a finger wide tan head that fades rather quickly. Aroma is on the roasty side, slight bitterness, and some coffee. Flavor is much of the same, bitter and roasty... pretty good porter.

Draft: pours dark black, malty taste with some bitter chocolate flavor as well, fairly thin bodied. Solid porter.

on tap. black in color. medium bodied, a nice roasty porter thats not to bitter. very drinkable.

Dark brown pour with tan head and lace. Aroma of coffee and toasted malt. Coffee, roasted malt, and a good malt bitter. Medium bodied with smooth carbonation.

on draft at the brewpub, pours black with a thin light tan head. Aroma is roasty, lots of coffee. Flavor is mild roast, heavy chocolate and thin coffee notes.

Served on draft at the Lancaster location. Pours a clear dark ruby color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of dark roasted malts, smoke, caramel and a lightly bitter finish. The taste is roasted malts, nuts, smoke and a bitter hop finish. Dry, medium bodied and very nice,

Smooth. Not a huge taste, but solid for a porter. I’d go for it again.

Draft at Iron Hill Maple Shade. Pours a dark brown with a huge roasted malt profile on the nose. Burnt coffee beans, toast and a little cocoa in the aroma and flavor. A very good porter.
