From notes 7/14/03: Pours a hefty brown color with a nice tan head. Laced very well. Aromas just work to break the plane of the glass’s rim, they’re so heavy. Roasted coffee and bitter chocolate abound. The malts seem to be roasted just this morning it’s so fresh. The taste is thick with its roasted character. Chocolate melted in coffee. A pleasant hoppy zing to this as well at the end. Brewed with Cascades. Citrusy kick in a roasted porter? Sure! The end result was wonderful. Mouthfeel was healthy, very smooth and easy to drink. Very well done.

Nice foamy head with good retention. Very sweet. Good balance of maltiness. Not very bitter, but that’s ok for a porter. It was served with a straw and a pretzel. I think the place I bought it at thought the beer was a stout, because they asked me if I could taste the coffee. I said "no, but I can sure taste a lot of chocolate."

On tap at Good Fellows Bar in Chapel Hill. Pure chocolate! Aroma was of chocolate and caramel, with a little bit of smokiness thrown in there. My only complaint is that there is very little hop balance, but a good porter nonetheless.

Draft pint at the brewpub; the nice poofy head settled relatively quickly. Tight roasty aroma. Well rounded roasty flavors, too ... bit of smoke and a bit of sweet-bitter clash of the titans going on. Very good and best I had today. (#2807, 4/21/2007)

This was a great beer. Had at Beer Fest 05, and I think whenever (ifever) I go to Fayetteville, we’ll have to stop here. Very fruity. I tasted their IPA Ravishing Red first and then the girl added this to it. Nice addition.
