Draft @ Barleys, Asheville. Pours a deep chocolate brown with cocoa head. Nose is rich toffee with faint British leafy hops and roasted smokiness. Decent body, nice and smooth going down, starting with hazelnut-chocolate before rounding out into coffee-like bitterness in the finish. A nice session porter.

Jul 18, 2008 The aroma immediately offers a nice concentration of coffee, roasted/burnt malt and a light chocolate sweetness. The body is a dark ruddy brown and holds a aloft a diminishing mocha head. . The first sip offers your standard choc/coff. This brews is maybe a touch more burnt bitter than the norm. Also a bit more hoppy than usual which melds for a more bitter finish. Pretty decent porter with a little more pop than most.

Mar 3, 2008 From a growler brought back from Winston. Pours a dark, dark brown with a small, creamy tan head. The aroma is bitter chocolate with a little smoky, charred smell. The taste is gorgeous. Coffee, licorice maybe a touch of toffee. Finishes smooth with just a touch of bitterness.
