| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 30, 2009 Draft at the brewery. Very dark pour, attractive foamy brown head. Roasty coffee vanilla aroma, with hints of raspberry. Light raspberry complements this stout nicely (perhaps aided by the fact I had it on a hot summer day). Very well balanced despite complexity of flavors. Probably the best beer I tried in Asheville. chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA
