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.

On tap @ Selins Grove. Dark brown with a dense tan head, looks almost like a nitro head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and roasted malt. Bittersweet chocolate sweetness with a roasty bitterness and a touch of hop. Medium to full body with a creamy mouth feel and a slightly dry finish. Well done.

Tap at Selins Grove. Pours a brownish amber with a medium creamy light tan head. Aroma of light chocolate malt, caramel and nuts. Flavor was kind of the same and thin.

On tap at the Selins Grove brew pub. Poured a kind of thin looking (for a porter) cola ruby color. Aroma was roasted malt and some coffee bitterness. Flavor was a little on the butter end with some nice roast, but overall a little thin. Decent porter though.

Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a bright red-brown color with a trace of a tan head. The aroma was bitter and roasty with notes of coffee. The flavor was bitter, roasty and grainy with a hint of caramel and coffee. The finish was long, bitter and roasty. Ok.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours ruby-hued brown with nice khaki head. The aroma is ashy with notes of chocolate and tobacco, some black pepper, and earth. The flavor is pepper and ash with some burnt sourness. Hints of coffee grounds pop up here and there. There’s a bit of earthy hop bitterness in the finish. Interesting interpretation, but not one I care for.
