Pours brown with a nice tan head. Smells of sweet caramel, roasted malt, some licorice. Tastes sweet and malty with nice dark fruit presence, some nuttiness and a spicy bite on the finish.

Tap at Iron Hill North Wales, PA. Dark brown pour with red highlights. Clingy creamy head. Chocolate and bitter coffee in this one, smooth palate.

Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate, coffee and roasty. Taste is sweet with coffee bitters. Nice porter, that had a nice blend of sweetness and bitters.

Pours a pitch black with a nice foamy tan head and nice lacing. Aroma is of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, and a dash of hops. Tate is the same as aroma. Has a medium body with a slightly watery mouthfeel and a bitter Finnish.

Tap - Newark. Pours black with ruby highlights and a medium, creamy off-white head, medium retention with light lacing. Aroma is chocolate and cookie malt, dark fruity esters, earthy hops and spices. Flavor is malty with fruity esters, cinnamon, clove, light hops and bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation, low warmth.

Draft @ brewpub. Pours dark brown with a slight red tint. Tan head with some lacing. Aroma is roasted malts with some coffee notes. Flavor is sweet, but has the malt and chocolate notes found in most porters. Finishes great and has the perfect amount of carbonation. Still a little too sweet for my tastes.

Draft. Dark brown in color with a small tan head. The aroma is pretty nice, with your typical roast and chocolate notes, well balanced. The flavor is good, with coffee, roast, chocolate, and nuts. Medium sweetness. Medium-bodied with a good level of carbonation for the style. A very good porter.

Draft at brewery. Very good overall. Nice tan head, brown / black color. Medium to full body, good for a porter, a little creamy but not too much. Coffee and chocolate flavors at the right level. Would recommend and will have again.

deep brown/black with a tan-brown head and lingers. Aroma is malt roast, molasses, fresh yeast, coffee, and mixed up. yum... body is lighter but flavor is big. slightly sweet, not so sweet it obscures the complexity. Yeast is light, but fresh and present, filling in for sweetness. Light coffee and some nutty dark honey flavors. Yum, I like it better than Appalachian Brewing Company’s porter, which is my goto for the sweeter end of the style, but this does it with more complexity.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty coffee aroma with hints of chocoalte. Roasted malty chocolate and coffee flavor with hints of caramel. Has a roasted malty coffee and chocolate finish.

This poured a darker brwn color with a beige head. Aroma was of medium roasted malts, some light chocolate and coffee too. Flavor was light cinnamon maybe?, milky chocolate and roasted mallows. Decent stuff.
