Apr 16, 2009 Growler from Craft Ale. Pours deep brown with nose of dark roasty malt, dark choc, some rauchy notes. Tastes roasty dark malty predominantly, with definite cherred rauchy malt notes, some cacao, fig, blackberry, and a smooth palate, never going sweet but staying roasty, rauchym, and blackberryish. Very nice.

Mar 11, 2009 Thought the body seemed a bit thin, didn’t really taste molasses like the description says. Taste was just kinda darker malts and a bit of caramel, an aftertaste of darker malts. Not as good as the description makes it sound.

Mar 10, 2009 Not a Shoo-Fly porter.... no molasses flavor... nothing more then a basic malty, coffee noted porter... highly disappointing

Feb 28, 2009 Brewed in the USA....... Cask night at the General Sutter Inn. Black in color with a small foamy tan head. Aroma of mild chocolate, malts and caramel. Taste has a roasted caramel flavor with some coffee notes at the finish. Mouthfeel is kind of dry, but enjoyable. I wish there was a more vigorous attempt at the molasses taste.

Feb 6, 2009 Draught at Harrisburg location. Poured a dark brown with a one finger head that dissipated quickly, good carbonation. Aroma was malty and sweet, nothing special. Flavor was a typical porter although fairly dry and slight medicinal notes with a hint of molasses and chocolate. Not bad, very drinkable but nothing special.

Feb 1, 2009 Tap at Capones. Pours a deep brown with amber notes and a creamy light tan head that left some lacing. Aroma of some light chocolate notes, toasted malt and nuts. Flavor of nuts, toasted malt, light chocolate and some caramel. A bit on the thin side, kind of getting a little too much hop bitterness for the style and aroma and flavor were both at bit on the low end. Not much molasses at all...hmmm
