Bottle had while visiting family in Boulder, Co. Pours black with about a finger of mocha head. Aroma is typical stout, but with a good deal more cocoa aroma. Taste is roasted malts, bittersweet chocolate, some licorice, and a nice hop punch at the end. Light and silky mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good sweet stout, but not one that stands out. Seems to be a local favorite for a good reason.

Bottle. Pours near black with a beige head, Sweet chocolate and lightly roasted malts. Rich, smooth and creamy. Really drinkable.

Aroma is roasted malts, coffee and a small hint of fruit. The flavor is roasted malts, a creamy texture, mild/medium sweetness and a mixture of tart and bitter in the finish.

Pours a very viscous and inky black with one finger of chestnut brown head. Nose shows burnt sugar and molasses with some fruit and chocolate. Rich flavor, shows dark chocolate and espresso. Roast shows in the flavor as well as the aroma. Full bodied and viscous with a roasty finish.

Roasted coffee aroma with a sweet note mixed in; maple maybe, some caramel and cream as well. Pours black in the glass with a cola colored head. Clean and straightforward roasted malt and espresso flavors. Overall, i dig it...

July 31st, 2011 - Before I had a chance to visit the Twisted Pine Brewery, I went through Twisted Pine’s variety box, hoping to find a gem in a brewery that combined a beautiful Colorado aesthetic with the art of beer. I also hoped there’d be something special about Twisted Pine, who has, as it were, grown and clambered through the forest of a very competitive beer scene to make a name for itself. I begin this trek with their Cream Style Stout, a stout with a generous addition of roasted barley, and a medal behind it too. The pour is smooth and oily, like the Eunuch from A Song of Ice and Fire, but the head quickly deflates, revealing the beer, and unveiling the aroma. It’s savory, with roasted smells (the barley, yes?), not too sweet and absent the caramel touch I find in a lot of main line stouts. The barley aroma feel a bit tortured, but from this pain comes gustatory pleasure, where soy sauce and hints of raisin enter the bouquet. Despite the style, the body is flat, and smoother than I’m used to, but compensates for this with a savory, salty and delicious flavor. Fig is wedged in between tectonic plates of meandering flavors - burnt caramel, roasted barley, and more soy sauce. There’s a lot of smokiness too, but it’s surprisingly light and effete. This is good drinking, and a good start to my Twisted Pine sampler.

Very dark brown pour with a small tan head. The aroma has roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and licorice. It has a full body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. The taste mildly bitter with a roasted flavor.

Undoubtedly their best offering among their regular rotation, this beer is dark, rich, with a sticky mouthfeel. Medium to heavy body, notes of chocolate and dark fruit.

Pours black almost indigo. Thin brown head. Coffee beans and some chocolate on nose. Thick chocolate malts. Not really feeling the CREAM but it's a decent stout ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours near black with a nice khaki head. Aroma is initially milk chocolate but turns to coffee and cocoa powder as it warms. Taste is cocoa, coffee, and a bit of licorice with some bitterness in the finish. Aftertaste is coffee. Medium body. Pretty nice stout.
