Jun 20, 2009 On tap at Macaroni Grill, Cary. Bartender described it as a stout, so apparently they don’t have good training for their craft beers. Everything served ice cold, too. Mild roasted grain and malt aroma with Tootsie Roll and apple juice. No hops. Dark brown black clear with no head. Medium-light body with high carbonation. Starts watery sweet with toasted malt and light Tootsie Roll sweetness. Hardly any bitterness with carbonic acidity and fizzy tang. Smooth sweet finish and nutty sweet after.

Apr 19, 2009 On tap at Bub O’Malley’s. Pours a a dark brown with a small, beige head. Big milk chocolate, toffee, and roasted malt nose. Taste adds some coffee and caramel malt. Creamy and smooth with chocolate and roasted notes. Not bad at all. I agree- could be a Schwarzbier.

Dec 24, 2008 On tap this beer pours a dark chestnut with a decent creamy head. Aroma of chocolate, malts and hops. The taste is the same with the chocolate being the big one to come through. Not a bad beer - I enjoy this one much more than Red Oaks lager offering.

Sep 22, 2008 Draft from Carolina Theatre in Durham. Dark brown pour with almost no head. Roasty, almost burnt aroma. Burnt sugar, caramel, molasses, malt, and not much else. A little metallic flavor. Better as it warms. Very thin palate.
