A unique Highland creation, this robust beer is black in color, very malty with hints of chocolate-roasted flavor and a well balanced hop character.

One of my favorites. Thick and sweet, but with a nice bitter finish. I drink this stuff religiously. Reccomended.

It is hard for me to find anything even silightly not perfect with this beer. Great flavor. Chocolate, and roasted flavor, perfect balance of bitterness, and wonderful aroma. I usually don’t even care about foam retention, and even that is good. Makes me proud to be from NC, and shows that even our backwards, idiotic, and negligent beer laws can’t prevent good beer from happening.

Wow! After working several days and nights my fellow workmates and I decided a refreshing drink was in order to replenish our strength and resolve to finish our task. Off we trekked to the local brewpub with hops and barley malt memories on our tastebuds. Too our total shock they were completely out of beer! No porters, no ales, no blondes, no pilsners. Macrobrewed pale water was our only resort. With great displeasure we made our sore order. A few minutes later with expectations so low our waiter returned with four Highland Oatmeal Porters in Hand! What is this new brew. It poured black with a frothy head delicious hoppy start with smooth chocolate and caramel malty finish. I had to have another. Twas a fine fine day.
