gripweed57	3.6 Valley Forge Regiment Pale From old tasting notes. Amber orange color. Thick, creamy, bubbly beige head. Soft, fruity malt nose. Spicy toasted malt flavor hints at toffee and grapefruit peel. Nicely balanced by a crisp spicy hop finish. Sunday, August 27, 2017
gripweed57	4 Valley Forge Stool Pigeon Stout From old tasting notes. Opaque black, brown color topped by a dense bubbly tan head. Rich sour malt nose hints at smoked cheese.

ration	3.1 Valley Forge Georges Porter Cask. Pours dark brown with a medium head. Aroma coffee, nuts. Avery porter. Thursday, April 19, 2012
axilla	3.5 Valley Forge Peach Wheat Pours a dirty, straw yellow body with a white head. Aroma is surprisingly that of a wheat ale with peaches. Flavor is a refreshing wheat taste with lots of peaches and a nice malt backbone. A little more body than most wheat beers. Very nice. Tuesday, May 24, 2005
DocLock	3.2 Valley Forge Cranberry Wheat Notes from January. Pours hazy amber/brown with aroma of hopcit, some berries. Tastes hopcity, with a wheaty malt presence coupled with some finishing cranberry tartness. Decent. Wednesday, May 4, 2005
DocLock	3 Valley Forge American Wheat Hazy gold pour with aroma of hocpti and some fruit. Tastes light to medium on the palate, with hopcit and wheaty yeasts. Not great, but passable. Wednesday, May 4, 2005
richlikebeer	3.5 Valley Forge Vanilla Porter saved this for last as part of the brewpub sampler. smelled great, vanilla and chocolate blending together, almost gave an aroma like white chocolate. body was deep brown but not totally opaque with amber highlights and an almost nitro-esque layer of head. flavor started out with burnt coffee and gave way through chocolates ending with the sweetness of the vanilla. the aftertaste was what lost it for me though, as a seemingly watered down body had an odd soapy aftertaste. the residual taste in my mouth returned to the vanilla, but to get there, the odd sourness was dominant. it was unfortunate the end didnt live up to the rest, or this would have been outstanding.

richlikebeer	3.2 Valley Forge Georges Porter at the brewpub, loads of chocolate malt coming off of a deep brown body with scarlet highlights and a nice cream colored head. the flavor was nice, a little oversweet with chocolate, but i personally liked that. the tail had a little more bitterness than i prefer, but the biggest complaint i had with this was it’s body, which was very thin and watery for a porter. Sunday, April 17, 2005
richlikebeer	2.5 Valley Forge Dark Wheat at the brewpub, mildly sweet, wheaty aroma, deep amber color with a thin creamy layer of head, unfortunately was this beers best feature. flavor was bittersweet and watery, the body was rather thin, and the aftertaste was akin to grass and soap. very disappointed with this. Sunday, April 17, 2005
richlikebeer	2.8 Valley Forge Red Coat Ale at the brewpub, wisps of white on top of a pale gold, aroma is pungent, as it almost makes my nose crinkle. flavor was weak and watery, little or no body and just not a very good example of the type. Sunday, April 17, 2005
richlikebeer	3.3 Valley Forge Regiment Pale at the brewpub, sweet caramel aroma, deep golden color. nice balance in the flavor, blending from hop bitterness to sweet maltiness. not too bitter on the tail. very pleasant and drinkable. Sunday, April 17, 2005

michael-pollack	4.2 Valley Forge Stool Pigeon Stout Draught @ Brewery: Smelled malty, fruity, and sweet. Poured dark black. Thick in texture. Small brown head did not last. Good lacing. Tasted like blueberry, which was likely a result of the complex malts. Easy to drink. A different take on Stout. Overall, one of the better beers I have had here in a while. Monday, January 17, 2005
PWalk	1.2 Valley Forge Kings Gold ReRated to fix the typos in review: I honestly had more fun drinking my water than this beer. A bright yellow in the glass with zero head or aroma. The flavor was non existant in this beer. My gf actually said "Whats wrong?" when she saw me try it. It literally had nothing to it. Almost as if someone poured water into my beer and served it to me. AVOID unless you get a sampler. Sunday, January 9, 2005
PWalk	4.1 Valley Forge Stool Pigeon Stout Ahh the reason to go to VF. Dark like it should be in the glass this beer reeked of malty goodness. Flavor was chocolate, cherry, and plums maybe being perfectly smooth. Aftertastse was exemplerary. Do yourself a favor and get there for this beer. Sunday, January 9, 2005
PWalk	2.2 Valley Forge Regiment Pale A decent English pale that that will quench your thirst but won’t satisfy it . Malt was present throughout. Sunday, January 9, 2005
PWalk	2.9 Valley Forge Red Coat Ale Fairly decent IPA that when compared to the other offering of the brew pub truly stands out. Not a good thing. Mediocre hoppiness at the nose and on the palate was non existent. Just didn’t taste very fresh and I found this beer to be a little watery as well. Sunday, January 9, 2005
PWalk	2.8 Valley Forge Georges Porter POured dark in the glass that when held up to the light burned red. No head whatsoever. Aroma was of roast and flavor followed suit with a discernable sweetnes throughout. Very watery beer for the style. Just wasn’t heavy enough. Sunday, January 9, 2005
PWalk	3.9 Valley Forge Holiday Ale The highlight of my dinner at VF. Dark copper por with a small head that laced well. Aroma was heavy on malt and the flavor was the same. Fruit also comes through on the palate. Wish I had this when it was fresher. Sunday, January 9, 2005
PWalk	2.8 Valley Forge Cranberry Wheat Unfiltered german wheat that was a hazy gold in the glass. Not much of an aroma to speak about and the flavor was very yeast with almost no fruitiness to it. Very Disappointing. Sunday, January 9, 2005

My compliments to Michael, the VF brewer. Wednesday, January 5, 2005
