A liquid nod to the only pre-revolutionary tavern still standing in The City of Brotherly Love. “Man Full of Trouble” was one of Colonial Philadelphia’s first watering holes. This London Style Porter was brewed with “Old-World” in mind. Black and chocolate malts create its deep mahogany appearance and creamy espresso-like flavor. A blend of English hops lends a delicate earthy presence.

Black with a large foamy tan head that lingered and left great lacing. Toasty and woody with faint coffee. Medium finish and body.

Can thanks to wombat23. Dark brown with a creamy, beige head that lingers. Aroma of dark chocolate, hazelnut, and caramel. Taste goes in a different direction, full of roasted grain bitterness and raw cacao. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. A good one.

16 ounce can. Barely translucent dark brown color. Small creamy tan head. Dark roasted malt nose hints at chocolate. Light roasted malt flavor follows nose. Hints of coffee and chocolate meld with toasted nuts and herbal hops. Somewhat thin bodied, but decent.

Underground Arts, Philadelphia tap ($6): Pours brownish-black with a beige head. Aroma is nice amounts of chocolate, nuts, and a little bit of earth. Taste is similar. Not really sweet. Some nice underlying hoppy bitterness. Really pleasant chocolatey fee. Nice body and nice quaffing.

On tap at the brewpub. Deep mahogany with a cream head; milk chocolate aroma; dry with red fruit flavours as well as chocolate from the malts, and an earthy bitterness from the English hops, then finishing rather sweeter. A rather good porter.

The owner said that my tasting glass did not do justice to this beer, so she poured me a hefty amount in a wine glass. She was right - it’s a beautiful beer, and the head doesn’t fully develop in the little sampler glasses. Deep ruby brown color, thick beige head with good retention. Aroma of light coffee and milk chocolate. Taste is similar. Very nice.
