From bottle : Pours very dark brown in color, with a thin light brown head, that last for a minute or so, then goes down to a thin ring of foam around the edges. Nose is very roasted with some malt, and coco, not to much there really. Taste is roasted and sweet, coco, and coffee beans, with a bittersweet finish. Medium body on the front, but finishes a little thin, pretty smooth going down. Aftertaste is a roasted blandness. Not all that great.

Jul 22, 2008 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.

Jul 12, 2008 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.

Jul 10, 2008 The best North Carolina brewed stout. Black pour, smells, tastes like it says. Excellent! Very drinkable.

Jul 10, 2008 Awesome low Abv. Stout. Great flavors of coffee, malt, and mocha. Easily the best stout I have had under 8% abv.

Jul 8, 2008 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.
