Oats, caramel, roasted chocolate, a nice, slightly sweet oatmeal flavor. A pretty decent oatmeal porter.

Has a deep brown appearance. Roasted malts with subtle chocolate. Left a thick creamy feel in the mouth. Good overall, but won’t become a new favourite.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a very dark ruby with a thick 1 finger tan head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Smells of coffee and some dark chocolate. Definitely a roasted malt presence. The taste carries over some of these dark chocolate notes along with a sweet taste. The roasted malt comes in later and the beer finishes with a nice bitterness. Slightly smoky as well. Mouthfeel is decent. Slightly sticky. Overall this is a pretty good beer and one that should definitely be picked up where available.

Lighten up people, this is a good brew. Toasted bread, wet dog, and a touch of floral hoppiness on the pour. Reddish hues when swirled and held up to the light as well as the colour of burnt motor oil in the tulip. Not as creamy as I expected but it has teeth. Solid roastiness with light smokiness joined by hints of chocolate and a decent hop balance. Highland is one of Asheville’s gems and an up and comer.

I dont even really classify this as a porter. Extra malty dark red ale or something along those lines. Very little roasted character with high sweetness.

12 ounce bottle that pours a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, a touch of dark fruit with some floral hops. Taste is roasted malt, some wood, dark fruit, and chocolate. A nice brew overall.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with crajun. Pours a dark brown with reddish highlights when held against a light with a thin tan head that lasted through the first two sips and left very little lace. Very pleasant aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor begins with roasted malt but then morphs into a heavy wet cardboard flavor that masks anything else pleasant that is going on with this beer. Medium bodied. Started out very promising but ended up disappointing.

Pours a deep brown with a creamy head. Smells nutty and earthy with a hint of smoke and cocoa. The taste was lightly of coffee and roasted malts with a touch of hops and more dry-earthy notes. Finished dry, yet rich with a subtle chocolate aftertaste.

Nose is coffee and some chocolate with a load of dark malt presence, obviously. Poured dark brown with a tan head. Tasted roasty with high carbonation. Some chocolate and light coffee notes. Pretty good.
