UPDATED: JAN 26, 2024 On tap at Brewpub in Gatlinburg. Poured a dark brown with small head. Aromas of roasted malt and coffee. Light flavors of the roasted malt, coffee and chocolate.

UPDATED: JUN 28, 2022 On tap at the brewery. Pours black. Roast, toffee, chocolate, little fruit, toast. Medium body. Decent.

Dark stout smell, so dark NO light gets through....chocolaty, some coffee bitterness, a bit too much for me...bold flavor though, not watery...

Bitter stout. Creamy on nitro. Okay beer. Aroma is chocolate. Dark. Thick head. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

5oz on tap at Smoky Mountain in Gatlinburg. Nice dark chocolate aroma. Coffee. Moderate roast malt. Satisfying moderate bitterness -- the most bitter beer of the 8 so far that I’ve tried in my flight here. Light to moderate sweet, a touch cloying, mildly astringent. Medium body. Kind of chewy. Very dry finish Light carbonation. Black color, with a tan head leaving good lace. Solid, flavorful, very bitter dry stout. I dig the black coffee character. Was easier to sip at than the other beers.

Keg at Smoky Mountain Turkey Creek, 16/02/15. Black with a decent tan covering - a good looking beer. Nose is light roast, dark toffee, liquorice, hint of coffee. Taste comprises chocolate, toffee, nice roast profile, dark maltings, liquorice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Well rounded easy drinking stout.

This is an awesome beer. Great looking dark brew with a nice tan/white head. Boozy... Yes! But, this is the best beer that smoky mountain makes by far. Enjoy.

Black and long lasting head. Roasty, anise, a little boozy. Not as rich in the finish as expected from the start.

Draft at Pigeon Forge. Brown color, tan head. Aroma of cocoa and coffee. Taste is similar.

Draught at the Smoky Mountain Brewery, Pigeon Forge, TN.
Black colour with a small light tan head. Roasted malt, coffee, mild sweetness and mild hops in the aroma. Coffee, roasted malt, dry hops and mild bitterness in the flavour. Watery.
