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.

Alcohol totally hidden. Smooth milk chocolate nose. Creamy, creamy palate with some roasted flavor and some vanilla. Aftertaste like weak coffee. Very good.

Tap at brewpub. Dark brown, almost black pour with creamy and firm light brown head. Roasted malt aroma, chocolate, coffee, and black strap molasses. Nice dry roasted malt flavor with a good hop background. Molasses really comes thru in the finish with espresso and bitter chocolate. Smooth and soft on the palate, light to medium body. An awesome beer, one of my favorite Porters (I have this often). Very good session beer, though a little high at 5.5% for long session drinking.

I liked this better than their stout... it seemed comforting and familiar the first time I took a sip. More subdued rasted malt flavor rounded with lighter malts.

Medium heavy body with light carbonation. Starts sweet with malty grains, raisins, coffee and licorice. Bitter chocolate. Mild bitterness and coffee grounds. Toasted or slightly burnt grains. Neutral fruit finish. Tongue-coating sweetness with light coffee bitter after.
