Sample in a flight at the Unknown Brewery. Pours black, with practically no head. Lots of coffee, chalky malt, bitter chocolate, and harsh hopping: resin and pine. A little sweet, with a significant and unpleasant bitterness. Heavy body, sticky, chalky, and dry. This stout is harsh and difficult. I’m not impressed.

Sample in a flight at the Unknown Brewery. Pours black, with a small, but persistent tan head. Nose is coffee, anise, pumpernickel, and some light spice. Sweet, with a significant bitterness, and a touch of spice. Heavy body, sticky, and a little chalky. This is a nice, interesting porter. Very different.

In the can @ home, thanks to jcnielsen for sending. Pours a deep brown appearance with a huge brown head. The aroma is pretty nice with notes of toasted nuts, smoke, char, and coffee. Medium body. Moderate plus bitterness. Moderate low sweetness. Lots of char and tar on the tongue. A bit smoky. Pretty good.

Bottle shared at a tasting. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a medium sized creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of pepper, salt, pale malt, floral hops. The taste is citrus, tropical fruits, peppers, pale malt. Medium bodied, nice balance. Not overly done with the peppers, thank you!

Location: Draft at Brixx - Uptown Charlotte, 1/28/15
Aroma: This beer has a lightly hoppy aroma, with citrus and a little pine.
Appearance: Pours a gold color with a small, sheeting head and fairly heavy lace.
Flavor: The taste is pretty similar, it is mildly sweet with a mid-plus bitterness.
Palate: It is a medium bodied beer, leaning light, with a fairly dry finish.
Overall Impression: I thought this was a solid, but slightly flawed/underwhelming pale ale. It is decent for the style, it just isn't great.

Location: Nitro at World of Beer, Charlotte, 1/19/15
Aroma: This one has a mostly coffee and chocolate aroma.
Appearance: Brown color with a thick, creamy, lasting brown head and heavy, coating lace.
Flavor: Balanced between sweetness and roast, mildly bitter.
Palate: It feels creamy and smooth, super easy drinking, with a lightly dry finish.
Overall Impression: This was a pretty nice one. I honestly really didn't expect this level of quality. The nitro treats this well.
