Dec 11, 2008 Wilmington. Slowly fading head on a nearly opaque black brew. Nice cocoa-roast aroma with pencil shavings. A bit acidic, roast nuts, a little milkly. Medium body. Roast finish with some creaminess.

Nov 1, 2008 Pours brown with a nice tan head. Smells of sweet caramel, roasted malt, some licorice. Tastes sweet and malty with nice dark fruit presence, some nuttiness and a spicy bite on the finish.

Oct 12, 2008 aroma was slight roast with some malt characteristics, like dark bread. pours black with a tan head. flavor was nicely malty with some coffee, no astringency and little roast character. medium-full bodied. an alright porter, seemed like it could have more character though.

Sep 3, 2008 Tap. Poured pitch black with tan foamy head. Aroma was coffee, chocolate, and a roasted malt scent. Taste was chocolate, malts, and black coffee. A nice porter.

Aug 25, 2008 Pint at Iron Hill Brewery, Lancaster, PA...I tasted (and rated) their "standard" Pig Iron Porter on an earlier visit but a few months later they offered it as a Nitro draft...pours very dark brown, weightless frothy tan head (unlike its carbonated brother)...all the aroma and flavor is pretty much the same but this was much smoother...very good.
Earlier Rating: 12/3/2007 Total Score: 3.6
Pint draft at the new Iron Hill in Lancaster, PA...pours dark brown with barely any of the tan head left by the time I got it...sweet aroma of chocolate, coffee, and malt...flavor is much of the same...creamy mouthfeel...goes down real easy, could easily have a few in a sitting.

Aug 24, 2008 tap @ Newark. pours opaque brown-black with a bubbly tan head. Tons of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee in the nose. flavor is heavy roasted malts, with bakers chocolate, black coffee, caramel, smokiness, and a slight bitter backing. finish is bitter and malty. solid porter.

Aug 20, 2008 Roasted chocolate and coffee comes to mind when smelling or tasting this beer. It pours very dark and thick with a small tan head. It has a smokey flavor and smooth body. Nice texture.
