It has a hearty malt and grain aroma
with enough mocha to leave me salivating. The flavour is big on roasted
malts and is a bit earthy, but also has a decent hops kick evident in
the finish. Notes of chocolate and coffee are present, but understated.
This
beer has been provided to me by more than one North Carolina friend on
more than one occasion, but it hasn't run my critical gauntlet until
today. I'd say it fared quite well. It's not elite, but it'd be the kind
of Porter that'd adorn my fridge regularly, should I find myself living
in The Old North State. Mellow and well crafted.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
