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!

Pours a dark brown/black color with medium head. Scent is of coffee and chocolate. Taste follows, with caramel coming through. Medium mouthfeel an aftertaste that is both sweet and bitter

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.
