Description
Independently-owned craft brewery providing North Carolina with quality beers since 1994.
Beginning in 1994 with a 7 barrel converted dairy system, we set and accomplished the goal of providing unique traditional ales & lagers available through OHB. Quickly we outgrew that system.
In 1997, we began the renovation of an 1880 Historic Landmark building, which now houses our brewing facilities, a 25-barrel Price Schonstrom brew house.

Bourbon aroma. Flavor starts with sweet raisins, finishes with a bourbon taste. More than wee, it’s full heavy.

Bottle picked up from Getränke Wallbruch, Wetzlar, Hesse and consumed at home Sunday 30th October 2022 listening to Dexys Midnight Runners - Too Rye Aye (2022 re-release as it should have sounded), we had homemade Ravioli for tea. Pours black with a light tan head. The nose is rich in coffee and bitter chocolate. The taste is quite bitter and roasty, and the chocolate and coffee theme returns along with bitter cocoa and perhaps a hint of liquorice, the bourbon barrel ageing is noted but not overpowering, not much in the way of sweetness, which is nice but overall I was left a little bit disappointed. Pleased that I was given this for free at the getrankemarkte as it was no longer on their system.

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 8 May 2022) Dark reddish brown colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, vinous nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit and figs. Malty taste with caramel, toffee, chocolate, dried fruit, raisins, prunes, figs and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite sweet. Smooth, warming, tasty. Well balanced for its strength. Very nice.
