COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The concept: a low-alcohol creamy dark ale with flavors of R.C. Cola and MoonPies — the foundation of the South’s 15-cent working man’s lunch. No, there’s no actual MoonPie in this beer — instead, we brew with chocolate husks from Raleigh’s great artisan chocolate-maker, Escazu. Enjoy a lunch break for a new era. Go ahead, boss man: have your three martinis… we’ll have a Working Man’s Lunch.

thedm (4783) - Fort Wayne, USA - FEB 27, 2013
This draft brew from the brewery poured a head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were and left behind a transparent golden brown colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was nutty and brown malt. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a mild mild malty aftertaste. The nice flavor contained notes of nutty brown malt and hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Draft. Hazy brown color, medium tan head. Aroma of roasty chocolate. Taste is light malted milk balls. Easy drinking.

Brown ale with a hint of chocolate hidden inside. I didnt taste any banana or anything like a moon pie. Still, its easy to drink and quite good.

freekyp (1418) - Thomasville, North Carolina, USA - DEC 30, 2012
Billed as a beer with "moon pie" flavors, but falls closer to a dunkle weizen instead. Slight banana in the finish. Some chocolate power in there too. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

UNCCTF (477) - Charlotte, North Carolina, USA - DEC 23, 2012
On tap at the brewery. Black with some light barely coming through the glass. Strong aroma and flavor of chocolate and banana, with a sweet finish. I’m a big fan of this one.

Decent brown ale consumed in chapel hill where dreams come true. Hint of chocolate.

Draft for the bourbon barrel version black as night. Good lacing brown head. The porter actually overpowers the bourbon. Not sure if that's good or not. Even the aroma lacks the typical bourbon smell. Not bad ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

GT2 (5810) - Jurupa Valley, California, USA - NOV 10, 2012
Tap at Sandwhich in Chapel Hill NC. Pours a clear, deeper cola red. Rockier, creamy head. Sheets of lace. Nose is quite sweet, big sugar, light saltwater/sweat. Taste is decently thick chocolate porter up front finishing mealy apple, chalk, minerals. Odd aftertaste. Similar to Caribbean milk stout. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours very dark with a small head. Good level of smokiness to it, though it was poured a little warm for me.
