A great stout - jumps out at you with more hops than many stouts and a terrific flavor. Great roasted malt and well balanced. I’ve had a few dozen of these at the source in Chattanooga which is a very cool brewery. I would love to see this bottled!

Sep 2, 2008 On tap at the Seven Bridges brewpub in Jacksonville, FL. Arrived at the table black with a luscious tan head that lasted through mid-glass and left partial lace. Mild aroma of roasted malt. The flavor is roasted malt with some light bitterness towards the finish. A little light-bodied and thin, more like a porter than a stout.

Dark opaque pour with a nice tan head. Sweet stout up front, with a touch of licorice ending.

Jun 4, 2008 Side-by-side of the regular draft and the cask version, at the brewpub, pre-Noogfest. Pours blackish brown with tan head. The aroma is slightly roasty with some char and bitter chocolate, and the cask version sports a bit of woody sweetness. The flavor is roasty bitterness with some dry hoppiness and a little bit of root flavor. Lactose sweetness is more evident in the cask offering, as is a bit of vanilla and wood. Both are pretty drinkable.
