22 oz bottle into a couple of tulip glasses. Thanks go to HopDerek for generously sharing this one.
Pours black in the glass, topped with a solid finger of rich darker mocha head. This maintains a creamy richness, soaping the sides with robust lacing. The aroma is strong with roasted grains and a crunchy smelling coffee presence. Earthy and leafy hops mix in before this gives way to a thick layer of chocolate sweetness in the back of the nose. This is nice.
The taste has a relatively bitter aggressiveness to it up front, with burnt roasted malts and green citric hops being balanced by a malt backbone of sweet and sticky chocolate flavors. That dark bitterness returns in the finish, leaving a dry and burnt feel on the tongue. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a creamy smoothness on the sides but then more of a sharp and prickly feel on the tongue which brings that roast and hops out. That 8% ABV is very nicely hid, helping add to the overall approachable feel here.
This was a really good American Stout here , which while not super complex, still brought enough well balanced flavors and a solidly drinkable feel to the table. This was a good intro for me to this new GA brewery. Good stuff.

Good, dry, malty. Really nice on a super hot summer's day in a nice cool tap room. Dark with a nice tan head and medium body. Was a fair amount of vanilla and minimal coffee, a nice mix.

Nothing special here. Little boozy on the nose with some burn, but not bad. Hard to pull out much flavor, but coffee is there, chocolate less so. Some smoke or char which is nice.

Appearance - Pours black with nice tan head sheets of lacing in patches around the glass.
Aroma - Great roasted malt aroma, bakers chocolate, coffee, very light vanilla.
Taste - Huge roasted malt, bitter chocolate, coffee, mild vanilla. Drinks alot like a black cup of coffee but there are more roasted malts flavors than coffee.
Feel - creamy full bodied, slightly dry finish very smooth.
Overall - This is just a solid stout, no bells and whistles added, the coffee is light but noticeable smooth creamy great flavors.

I had some last year and have bought a couple six packs this year. The bottle picture is different than in the picture and the sixer I bought were 8%. This is a good stout. It isn't quite as strong ABV as I like but it is very drinkable. To me this beer tastes best after I take it from my Yeti cooler and pour it and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. The head gets thicker and that's what I enjoy in a stout, the thickness of each sip. It is really the only thing this beer lacks. I am a huge supporter of GA brewing and this is a beer that every stout fan should try and will enjoy.
