Sep 14, 2009 Sampled on draft at the brewpub. Pours a dark brown color. Medium head with decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is roasted malts and green apple. Taste is bitter roasted malts with tobacco, leather, light but bitter hops and the same green apple from the aroma. Seems maybe a bit off. Creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied.

Apr 9, 2009 On tap at the Cat’s Cradle (great place to enjoy this beer!) in Carrboro. Dark brown pour with light brown head. Roasty chocolate-y aroma with a good bit of toasted oatmeal as well. A bit of nuts and coffee and tangy lactic flavors added as well on the tongue. Tasty beer, and better than PBR when watching a show.

Dec 28, 2008 Roasted coffee in the aroma. Pours a dark mahogany with nice ruby highlights. Malt character is roasted barley with some bitter coffee. Hops are slightly fruity and lend a slightly tart finish. Carbonation is soft, but mouthfeel could use more girth.

Nov 1, 2008 On tap @ Mellow Mushroom in Durham. Black pour, thin khaki head. Moderate roasty bitterness on the nose, hints of chocolate. Palate was thin despite the oatmeal, and the beer was quite bland as compared to aroma. Slight roast up front tempered by a mild sweetness, not much of a finish. A nice porter, still.
