Pours a dark brown/black with small head. Chocolate, coffee aroma. Sweet malts. Milky. Roasty. Very similiar to the Foothills stout.

On tap at the Leesville Taproom in Raleigh. Black pour gives way to a very small tan head. Roasty coffee and some chocolate aroma and flavors. Nice chocolate character as well. Solid porter.

Draft. Deep brown body with a tan head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate, molasses and cola. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture and moderate carbonation. Taste of bittersweet chocolate and coffee with a hint of grapefruit bitterness. It’s noticeably thin, but its strength is in its balance between sweet and bitter and the nice flavors the balance produces.

Draft at FB. Very dark brown pour, somewhat opaque. The head is tan, tall and reluctant to relent, creating thin webbed lacing. the aroma is of bitter chocolate, coffee beans, milk sugar, roasted malt, caramels and nuts. Alcohol is well concealed. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter and nicely complex. Chocolate is multi-faceted and takes center stage, coffee and caramel notes lingering just behind. Roast is very light but imparts ample cutting bitterness on the back side. Finishes soft and understated, chocolate and nuttiness lingering. Mouthfeel is very rich and pretty satisfying, a touch sticky but well carbonated. Very good.

Bottle... Poured dark brown, near black with a light brown head. Nose had dark grains and hint of roast. Nice porter, cocoa, coffee, toasted grains and sugars with mild hop characters. A little drying and mild sweetness.
