Had on tap at the brewpub in downtown Greenville. Has somewhat of a a smoky, roasted aroma to it. Black as night appearance with a thin and quickly dissipating mocha colored head. Dry, roasted coffee flavor with very subtle bitter chocolate notes. Just a tad thin and watery for a stout. Pretty decent for a brewpub stout though. Good night cap.

draught. This stout is a deep, near opaque red with a fading tan head. The aroma is of sweet bread with faint coffee and a bit of cola. There’s a bit more roasted barley in the flavor, a pleasant caramel sweetness, a bit of chalk, and burned toast.

Totally diminishing fizzy head tops the coffee colored beer. Quite a beany bouquet, herbal and grainy, but not much else. It becomes more vinous in mouth, with grape undertones, but also the counterpart, namely a disturbing lactic character that slices through the thin body. Pretty poor stout.

dark, and very good. a little sweet, but alas, its still very good. nice chocolate/coffee flavor. the dark beers are always something worth trying, because it seems that its hard to mess one up if you are a professional brewer. damn nice, id order this one no questions asked. sampled at brewgrass 04 on draught.

A nice stout that is black in body. The flavor is nice but a bit bitter. This is a good brew worth another glass.

This was a really tasty stout. Above average, but not a great stout in the sense of complexity and being unique. The flavors are very typical of a stout, and the aftertaste is lingering and sweet. It is very easy to drink and that is what I like about it. I would drink another glass. The process that they make there beer is quite unique. Another nice quality is the hoppiness this one has.

An average stout. Average head, black body. Average aroma. Perhaps a bit thin on the tongue. A bit hoppy for my taste, but I’m not sure if this was due to a lack of malt, or an overabundance of hops, but most likely a little of both. Overall, this is pretty much an average stout (which means it is an above-average beer).

Hoppy bitter for a stout. My guess is that it was also a bit light for a stout so there wasn’t an abundance of malt covering the hops. Good head.
