12 oz bottle from a recent trip to Greensboro, NC, USA.

Pour is a classic, simple black body with a typical small, mocha colored head. Looks more like a RIS than anything else.

Some roasty alcohol in the nose.

Obviously lots of roasted notes, but to be honest it is really quite sweet. The sweetness is the distinguishing factor that pulls it into the a more porter-like beer rather than a stout.

Mouthfeel is typically creamy. Mild alcohol burn in the finish, but despite that it drinks well below the 9.00%.
