Just got around to reviewing this growler that Deuane brought from the great state of NC!!

A - Very dark, bordering on opaque, colored pour with about one finger's worth of tan head.

S - Great smell overall. Roasted scents, with some coffee and chocolate too.

T - Smell predicts the tastes very well. All are present. Great taste overall!

M - Medium mouthfeel that is very smooth but you are hit with a bite/sting right at the end.

D - Great! Very easy drinking. Unknown ABV but doesn't seem too high, so splitting a growler was no problem, and enjoyable to boot.

Great overall beer that I really wish I could get my hands on more often! Thanks to the folks at Pisgah for another great offering.

Picked up a 12 oz single as part of a mixed sixer from Ingles Spartanburg store cooler 5-4-2021 for $10.98. Canned 1-19-21; consumed 5-9-21.

Beer poured cola brown with a very nice tan head.

Nose is malty forward with a hint of chocolate and mild roast.

Taste is a classic well done porter with a robust chocolate malt base that is nicely hopped to balance and clean any lingering astrincency.

Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and pretty smooth.

Overall a well done straight up porter!

On tap at the brewery in Black Mountain, NC.
Pouts opaque, neat black, with a fine durable beige head. Typical aroma with relatively strong flavor.
Very smooth body.
