brentfeesh (1030), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Nov 6, 2009 Obtained in trade. 12oz bottle. Very dark walnut colored pour. Slightly roasty with a nice gourde like aroma filled with spice. The flavor is somewhat overpowered by the black pat malt but still has minor pumpkin and spice (allspice and nutmeg). Dryish medium body. Not too bad. watson1977 (250), , Pennsylvania, USA Nov 4, 2009 pours black with a medium mocha head. aroma has some spices and pumpkin with a hint of anise...imilky too...nteresting. flavor is roasty with coffee. the pimpkin and spice come in right at the end. mouthfeel is very lively at first with a creamy finish and a lingering light and spicy roastiness. much better than i expected!

Dark brown color, small off-white head. Strong aroma of pumpkin. Medium-bodied. Caramel, coffee, pumpkin (less than in aroma). Quite caramelly, not really stout-like. omhper (12147), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 12, 2009 Bottled (brewed under license by Olde Saratoga Brewing, NY) at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Near black, mid-sized beige head. Buttey cinnamon aroma. Mid-sweet with well rounded mouthfeel. Light roastiness lies under the punpkin spices. Some butter yfat soothes it, making it feel like drinking soup base. Mild soy sauce finish with relaxed bitterness. Quite pleasant, although not overly complex.
