On tap at a social function
Dark brown tending towards ebony, abundant quantity of brown head, full curtain of lacing, cap
Strong chocolate, roast malt and coffee aromas
Roasty malt, chocolate, coffee, light plum, raisin, molasses flavors. Light hop fruitiness
Light bodied, no char or astringency, enjoyable to have several.
I’ve had this several times, quality always seems consistent.

Decent brew nice dark brown hue, but falls well short of a true porter. Too thin and little nose. More of a brown ale with a hoppy finish, a bit darker than your average brown. Too many NC brewers think extra hops make every brew better. I'll stick with either Black Butte or Edmond Fitzgerald.

Too hoppy for a porter, in my opinion. Perhaps a black IPA was more of what they were going for, seeing as they produce several IPAs, and are obviously partial to the hoppier beers.

Mouthfeel - Light, lots of carbonation
Overall - Very light overall, very easy to drink, holiday flavor without being overly spiced
