4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On draught at Barleys, Asheville on 7 July 2006. Extremely dark - almost black and entirely opaque. Generous and lasting tan head. Strong roasty aroma with coffee and chocolate. Dry and quite bitter on the palate with lots of cooking chocolate, but retains a smooth and rather creamy mouthfeel. Tends towards an imperial in ABV but certainly not too boozy. Supremely drinkable for the strength. Excellent stuff.

A deep dark stout with a very thin off white head. A superb aroma of chocolate covered cherries and alcohol, muskey and complex. In mouth, a beautiful complex stout with nice restrained bitter chocolate, nice Brett notes, oak barrel, smooth and enticing. On tap at Great North Carolina Brewers Fest., August 28 2010.

Growler sampled on 7/2/06 courtesy of boboski: Pours a rich opaque black with a nicely-lacing frothy tan head. Real toasty biscuity malty aroma has a hint of dark fruity complexity. Body starts full and viscous but not very sweet and thinning some toward the drier, earthy, mildly chalky and roasted finish. A pretty decent stout.
