22oz. bottle shared by cdumler and purchased at Sam’s Quik Shop. Pours a deep, dark brown with a medium, creamy head. Weak aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Taste is bitter roasted malts and coffee. Medium to full bodied.

12oz. Thanks to bitbucket! Black with thin head. Light stout with good roast, some ash and slightly sweet chocolate. Medium body and very smooth and clean. Enjoyable, but not mind blowing.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good stout here. This was nice and dark and roasty, and pretty much had all the right moves. Looking forward to hitting this place when we get up to Asheville.

Bomber! Thanks to OldStyleCubFan, the last of the many bottles this guy hooked me up with. Poured a dark brown color with tan head. Aroma of roasted malts/barley, coffee, and some chocolate. Mouthfeel is somewhat smooth but a bit on the watery side. Taste is roasty, chocolate, coffee, vanilla. It is good overall, one of the better regular stouts I’ve had. Thanks guy! and go Cubs!

Bottle at the porter bar. Roasted malt aroma with a little cocoa. Has a really nice bittersweet chocolate flavor and cocoa again with a nice slightly sweet finish. Smooth, creamy and well balanced. Very drinkable and complex enough to keep you interested for a while.

From a 12oz Bottle. Somewhat transparent, rusty black body with a thin layer of off-white head. Roasty aroma that’s highlighted by a whiff of fresh mint and light licorice. Prunes and medium roast coffee. Medium bodied, softly carbonated mouthfeel with a relatively dry finish. Flavors of cocoa and roast up front, along with some mild prune fruits. Moderately dry, with a bit of an ashy flavor lingering in the finish. Solid, but not exceptional.

absolutely loved this beer, pours to a pitch black body, smells of chocolate, nice roasted, chocolate malty taste ot it, definite can taste the mocha in it too. While the malts are smooth, the taste lingers a bit in your throat, nothing overpowering though
