Location: Draft at Revolution, 12/9/12
Aroma: The nose is fairly roasty, with some chocolate and coffee malts as well
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a light brown head and fairly heavy lace
Flavor: Tastes roasty and chocolatey, but not very sweet at all, with a dry-roasted coffee bitterness
Palate: The body is medium-plus, with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel, and a dry, roasty finish
Overall Impression: This is some very solid stuff. They made a nice roasted coffee and chocolate Porter. It has a nice dryness too it, and never gets too sweet. The smooth feel also adds to the drinkability. I was impressed with both of the beers I tried from NoDa, and I anticipate good things from them in the future.

Location: Draft @ Revolution, 12/9/12
Aroma: The nose has some caramel, bread, and other clean malty notes
Appearance: It pours a hazy orange color with a beige head that leaves some heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is medium malty, with a nice balancing hoppy, and a somewhat bready finish
Palate: This one has a medium body, a fairly clean feel, average carbonation, and a dryish finish
Overall Impression: This was the first thing I tried from NoDa, and it was some solid stuff for sure. It is not an amazing beer, but I liked it enough to be fairly curious about the rest of their offerings.
