Mar 13, 2006 Bottle. Pours dark black with light brown heady, fizzy like a cola. Very faint aroma of chocolate malts and cocoa. Evenly blended flavors of dark roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Bitter, roasty, and fizzy finish. This one has a nasty aspirin finish if served too cold. Keep this one at about 55 degrees. Overall, not bad, but nothing special either.

Mar 12, 2006 Pours dark brown with a tan fluffy head. Smells roasty with some grass and hay qualities and peppery elements. Tastes semi sweet with mocha, and strong malty notes. Finishes chocolatey.

Mar 9, 2006 Pours near black with deep ruby hues and a fully receding light brown head.
Aroma of roast malt, cocoa, coffee, and other things of a toasty nature. Taste is a nice bundle of toasted and roasted malts. Notes of chocolate, dark rye bread, and coffee. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with soft carbonation. Enjoyable stout, but not good enough to be amazing.

Mar 6, 2006 Updated: Apr 20, 2006Bottle. Pours black with a tan head that dissipates. Roasty malt aroma with hints of woody hops. Roasty malt flavor, also with hints of woody hops. Not really much chocolate flavor, contrary to expectations, although cocoa is detectable. Opens up a bit as I drink it, with an ever so slight hint of sweetness. Not an *exciting* beer per se, but exceedingly well balanced and expertly crafted.

Mar 5, 2006 No. 30 is black, has mocha flavor, is a stout. Must be Black Mocha Stout. Asheville, NC is a lovely place to visit. I imagine it must be fantastic to sip on a local brew like this while watching the foliage change around the Biltmore Estate.

Feb 23, 2006 Bottle thanks to Goldtwins. Pours black with a small bubbled head that settles really quick. Aroma and taste are a heady espresso, not too rich that tickles the palate. Nice use of hops that blend together well. Roasty and drinkable.

Feb 21, 2006 Blackish brown, diminishing head. Nose of astringent roast, grapes, coffee & bitter chocolate. The flavor is creamy and light bodied with a balanced hop layer blended with the roasted malts. The finish is average and chalky. Decent stout, not much chocolate notes as I expected but easy drinking. Thanks to aracauna for this bottle.
