DRAUGHT: The head starts out looking nice, but dimishes quite rapidly. Flavor is weak, and watery. Terrible finish. Overall, it is drinkable, but I would like a bit more hops in the finish, and a more balanced flavor.

On tap at Tribeca Tavern in Cary. Pours a very black color with red highlights and a nice foamy tan head. This stout has clearly evident chocolate, coffee, and licorice aromas. The mouthfeel is very creamy. Taste is lots of chocolate, coffee, licorice and oats with a slightly dry finish. Not a bad brew for a $3 tap special. Tasty.

From notes 7/14/03: Pours virtually jet black...until you lift it to drink, and you see ruby red along the edges in the light. Creamy tan head, mainly due to the nitro tap. Aromas are of this morning’s robust coffee. Smells very nice. The taste follows along with roasted coffee, with the slightest hint of chocolate in the background. A healthy 36 IBU for this beer, a mere 11 points below their monster IPA! Spicy! A fairly hefty stout for what’s available in NC. The nitro gives it a feel that I could do without. I usually do not abhor a nitro draft, but this beer had too much artificial "nitro-ness" about it.

Dark with a nice head. Creamy body with a malty taste. Very decent porter. especially good on draft at the Mash House itself. Would definitely recommend.
