Got a pour of this at the WBF. Pours a nice dark black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of bakers chocolate, coffee, roast, sweetness. The flavor is bitter, waxy, coffee, bakers chocolate. Mouthfeel is creamy and waxy, a bit of a letdown on hte flavor.

May 3, 2008 Tap at WBF in Raleigh. Best Triangle beer I’ve had yet. Dark brown pour, coffee, chocolate, and sweet roasty nose. Same flavors, with a slight sourness as well. They said it was brewed for NC summers, and I can see this. Nice big flavor, especially for a lower-alcohol stout. Will drink this again.

Apr 28, 2008 Black, with a brownish tan head. Smells like coffee and burnt toast. Flavor is similiar, with coffee and burnt toast again being the main flavors. Some hints of tar (in a good way) and smoke. At the Raleigh WBF.

Mar 21, 2008 From notes. Draft at Watts Grocery. Happy to hear about a new local brew available. Looks pretty good. Dark oil black with a large tan head foaming over the top of the glass. Some bitter chocolate and fresh roast in the nose. Dry and chocolatey. Lots of roasted malts. Seems a little thin in body. I have no idea how strong this is but the alcohol is not noticeable at all. Decent brew.
