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 at the brewery. Dusty earthy malt, dry roasted grains and bitter coffee grounds. Light hoppiness with licorice and tobacco, raisin. Dark brown reddish clear with off-white lacing head. 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.

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.
