Jan 7, 2009 Draft at the brewery. Black color with a minimal light tan head, fairly flat. Smells and tastes of very dark, burnt malts and dark chocolate. You can really taste the grains in this one. The roastiness actually overpowers it a bit leaves it too one dimensional. Not bad, just not the best stout around.

Oct 8, 2008 Dark brown pour with chestnut colored head. Sweet roasted malts on the nose. Thin bodied and actually quite refreshing for a stout. Chocolate, coffee, and bread

May 3, 2008 Tap at WBF in Raleigh. Best Triangle beer I’ve had yet. Dark brown pour, coffee, chocolate, and sweet roasty nose. Same flavors, with a slight sourness as well. They said it was brewed for NC summers, and I can see this. Nice big flavor, especially for a lower-alcohol stout. Will drink this again.

Apr 30, 2008 Got a pour of this at the WBF. Pours a nice dark black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of bakers chocolate, coffee, roast, sweetness. The flavor is bitter, waxy, coffee, bakers chocolate. Mouthfeel is creamy and waxy, a bit of a letdown on hte flavor.

Apr 28, 2008 Black, with a brownish tan head. Smells like coffee and burnt toast. Flavor is similiar, with coffee and burnt toast again being the main flavors. Some hints of tar (in a good way) and smoke. At the Raleigh WBF.

Mar 21, 2008 From notes. Draft at Watts Grocery. Happy to hear about a new local brew available. Looks pretty good. Dark oil black with a large tan head foaming over the top of the glass. Some bitter chocolate and fresh roast in the nose. Dry and chocolatey. Lots of roasted malts. Seems a little thin in body. I have no idea how strong this is but the alcohol is not noticeable at all. Decent brew.
