Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
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.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7
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.

Draft at the source. Clear golden color, small white edge head. Aroma of mint! Taste is similar, very light and refreshing on a hot day. Not my favorite style, imitations of non-beer drinks, but this is tasty enough for what it is.

I don’t know how, but I have notes on this from a self-labeled bottle at Dark Lord Day 2011, before the place even opened. I suspect someone from NoDa was there and brought this for market research. Either way, I’m not slamming it, so count it as a tick. Brownish color in my tiny glass. Actually some spicy rye in the nose. Pretty good smell and color. Really comes a cross as a rye beer without a lot of hops or other stuff.

Pours red-tinged gold into a snifter. Pale head quickly recedes to hug rim. Stale and sweet with pit fruit and a lasting stale hop finish.

Draft. Nice aroma of citrus and tropical fruits, with a bit of rising bread dough. Taste is malty, bready, pumpernickel and light spice. Very nice.
