Commercial Description:
Highland's most robust beer, having a very malty body with a large, roasted chocolate flavor. It is black in color with a very clean finish and a moderate hop flavor.

I feel like the boys at Highland tried to carry this beer a little too far. It’s on the verge of being a great stout, but they must have added an extra scoop or two of grains. The result is a full-bodied beer with, sadly, a slightly chalky undertaste.

12oz via trade with GAManiac. Pours black with 1 finger tan head. Nose is very chocolatey. Taste is very mocha with a decent amount of coffee and chocolate and some bitterness presumably from the hops.

The best North Carolina brewed stout. Black pour, smells, tastes like it says. Excellent! Very drinkable.

Awesome low Abv. Stout. Great flavors of coffee, malt, and mocha. Easily the best stout I have had under 8% abv.

Cracked this open on July 4th. Right before the fireworks. Black pour with a nice head. Chocolate, roast and some coffee in the nose. Taste was much the same, pretty well balanced and not overpowering. A fairly drinkable stout. Big thanks to Daknole for sending this my way.
