This one pours from 22oz bottle almost a pitch black with an ample head of foam that shrinks to a fine layer with some lacing.
The smell is of sweet malt with some hop nose.
The taste has some roastiness to it and some semi sweet chocolate notes up front that smooths out and ends up a bit on the bitter side in the finish. A pretty noncomplex stout that is easy drinking but lacks real character...at least for me.
Bottom line: Nothing really bad about this brew but there's not a whole lot going on. I'm glad I tried it but it's just not interesting enough to warrant another try.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is roasted malt and coffee. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet roast and light dry finish. A decent stout from Twisted Pine.

12oz bottle pours very dark with short lived mocha head. The aroma has dark roasted malts to burnt malts, dark fruity esters, a bit of anise, chocolate malts and earthiness too. The taste is a mix of dark roasted malts moving into burnt malts and coffee. Behind those notes are murmurs of chocolate and molasses. Into the finish it’s pretty much on the burnt malts side. Nice tasting brew and maybe the one I like the most so far from this brewery.

12oz shorty bottle. Sort of a gusher, huge beige head takes a few minutes to settle. Smooth, clean, drinkable, true to style. Medium bodied, with some sweet cocoa chocolate tones. Mild, roasty bitterness. Fresh and all around enjoyable, a perfect session Stout. Well executed.

Bottle from Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours black with a foamy tan head. Aromas of chocolate and tar. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is chocolate, burned malt and I think more than a hint of tar. Finishes slightly harsh. Which isn’t a bad thing.

Pour is a complete black with a small tan head. Aroma is a good dose of roasted malt with a little coffee in the backround. Flavor is likewise. Starts out with a decent roasted malt then leaves a little coffee and burnt grain on the tounge. A decent little stout.

Bottle at a friend’s BBQ - a decent sweet stout that isn’t as heavy on the sweet as some others of the style - quite a bit of molasses, vanilla, and a light touch of coffee and black malt bitterness - creamy, mild carbonation - a bit of raisin - a touch of roast in the finish - a decent stout.

Draft at the brewpub. A pitch black beer with a big brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of chocolate as well as notes of roasted malt and coffee. The flavor is sweet malty with strongnotes of chocolate as well as lighter notes of roasted malt and bread, leading to a dry and slightly roasted finish where the chocolate note lingers.
