[29 Feb 2016] Sampled at the Estes Park Winter Festival. Pours black, with some tan bubbles. Weak, burnt coffee, with some toasted caramel and pine sap. Sweet flavor, with an anemic, off bitterness. Light body, watery and a little acidic. Overall, this is an off-putting and unpleasant stout. I’m sure the format (sample pour from a pitcher) and how little time they had on their brew system factored into this; I hope to try this again, and hopefully it’ll redeem itself.

[1 Nov 2017] Retried, at the brewery, in a flight. Better, smoother aromas, but still has an off, medicinal bitterness. Heavier body, but still thin and weak. Not a great stout, but better than the last try.
