Draught at the WBF in Raleigh. NITRO TAP. Pours black, with ruby edges, and a white creamy nitro kind of head. Very weak aroma, mostly just smell some kind of weak chocolate and coffee. Flavor is also very watery, thin, and not good.

Wow, this beer is straight up boring. I hate top of the hill and i am biased. But, the beer still sucks bigtime. this porter is no exception. Its really sad. This is supposed to be a restaurant and brewery, and instead of concentrating on brewing tasty, quality brews, these guys are more concerned with making lots of money off of unc’s fratastic elite. Fucking topo. Brown water is not a porter.

on nitro-pours a retaining creamy light tan head and black color with red tint. Aroma is dark malt-coffee/faint chocolate-oatmeal, flat bitterness. Mild carbonation.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours mahogany with tight beige head. The aroma is roasty coffee with some caramel and wood notes, maybe distant smoke. The flavor is earthy hops, mild coffee, and some creamy bitter chocolate notes. Slightly sweet finish with nutty notes, not much aftertaste. Not special, but smooth drinking.
