Commercial Description:
Porter was a favorite of George Washington whose white horse was said to have spent its last days grazing behind Governor Snyder's mansion. In George's day, ingredients such as molasses were often employed to make ale. We use five different malts and a touch of molasses for this ale's smooth and complex taste.

Pours a very dark brown with a small tan head. Slightly nutty aroma, some chocolate. Silky sweet body, chocolate on the finish.

Sample platter tap. Midnight dark. Aroma of dark chocolate, some red fruit, toasty malts. Coffee, espresso, hints of semi-sweet chocolate. Bit bitter, and the taste really kills your tastebuds.

Tap. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt, touch of prune. Flavor of coffee grindings, roasted malt, quite sweet, some earth, some milky chocolate, but very faint on these last two notes. Light bodied and a touch astringent. Ok.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours black with a rapidly fading head. Aroma of chalky roasted malt and a hint of chocolate. Flavor of raisins and weak sweet roasted malt. Not bad flavored, but weak-bodied. If improved, this could definitely be a really good porter.

On tap at the Selins Grove Brew Pub. Poured a deeper brown with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, roast, and some caramel. Tastes of roast, chocolate, light coffee, and grainy.

On tap at Selin’s Grove brewpub. Dark, thick, and chocolatey, but with a bit too much of an alcohol flavor for my liking.

On tap at the brewpub. An awesome porter. Upfront not much direct flavor but it comes on heavy towards the finish. Toasted grains, molasses, and perhaps some liquorice notes.

On Draft @ the brewpub. Pours black with small head (in comparison to the Snake stout atleast). I’ve mentioned numerous times in the past that I am not a big porter fan - but I could definitely get down to this. Hands down best porter I’ve had. The roasted aroma and taste are very good.
