3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a finger of tan head. Settles quickly with a little lacing. Aroma is mild roasted malt, dark malt, caramel, slight alcohol.
Flavor is mild roasted malt, with slight coffee and cocoa hints, fading into nutty malt, finishes slightly bitter and roasted. Mild carbonation, medium-light body, and a slightly watery texture. Not a bad beer, but it could use more flavor.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Surprised to see this as a Baltic Porter, pour on tap at the brewery was black with red edges, thin off white head. Aroma brought notes of slight cocoa, some anise, toffee, roasted malts, hints of wet coffee grounds in there as well. Taste is some wet coffee, roasted malt, some earth mixing with caramel, some slight grass finishing with some chocolate notes. Not bad!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap @ brewery. Very dark brown with burnt orange highlights. Light beige lasting head. Aroma of roasty dark chocolate, black licorice, and a touch of coffee. Taste is light and smooth, but full of delightfully sweet dark malts, chocolate, light smokiness, and some light coffee tones. A little light on the body but with a full flavor. Dry finish. Really good.

Tap @ brewery. Deep brown appearance with a light brown head. Anise, black licorice, black jelly bean aroma. Black licorice, chocolate, slightly roasty flavor.

Nice looking pour with creamy head. Some chalky roast and chocolate. Not bad at all.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle. Opaque brown black with a gushing, thick, steady beige head. There is an odd pungency in the aroma, choco bitterness. Thick, sweet, and rich. I don’t know if it is really a Baltic Porter or not, but it certainly has some sweet chocolaty depth. Relatively mellow carbonation, a touch watery underneath the rich cocoa tones. Some soapy hop balance. Another solid offering from Twisted Pine. Good, but not world class.
