Nice stout with a dark brown head and a good lacing. Thick and black with a sweet chocolately flavor. Smooth tasting on the palate. Slightly bitter aftertaste with a strong roasted flavor. Hint of cream. Somewhat thin.

Bottle. Poured black with small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, sweet malt. Taste is also mostly roasted malt, with a nice creamy sweetness. Coffee and chocolate are present in the taste. Mouth is a little dry. Overall, a nice milk stout.

Deep black, murky goodness here. Very full-bodied and full-flavored, with the main flavor of coffee predominating. In this way not too complex but still quite rich and good. Tan head. Nice surprise, as I’d never heard of Lancaster Brewing.

Appearance was unremarkable. Smell was good.. of toffee and chocolate. Could definitely taste the lactose, which was also coupled by a little bit of earthiness... maybe the barley. Good, respectably priced stout.

12oz bottle brought back with me from my trip to Philly. Pours a very deep brown body with a finger-width, creamy, brown head that dissipates quickly and leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma is sweet with rich chocolates, smooth hard roasts and coffee, and a light amount of sour dark fruits and lactose. Flavor is similar with a little more sourness that doesn’t take away from the rest of the sweet and smooth flavors. Rich chocolates, sweet roasts, some licorice, and a light herbal bitterness. Finishes malty and creamy with a hint of dryness and lingers for a good amount of time. Medium body. Overall, a pretty solid sweet stout. Smooth and creamy with lots of balanced roasts and chocolates. I like the slight bitterness at the end giving this another dimension. There is a light sourness that seems to fit well and blends with the other flavors. Nice.

On tap the Draught Horse. Very dark brown pour. Roasty malt aroma. Taste was of dark malts/black coffee. Creamy texture with a bitter finish. Tasty and satisfying.

Bottle. Smells like cooking chocolate... WOW! I found myself just sitting here huffing my glass. Crispy beige head crackles away within minutes. Nearly opaque black-brown liquid. Nice burnt chocolate chip cookie flavor. Enjoyable.

Wow, not at all over rated. The flagship of this brewery. An English style sweet stout. Both bold and dark. An ale where you can taste the barley and hints of chocolate and coffee. The first taste was like cough syrup! Then it settled in. Taste the lactose! A funny beer, unique.
