Draft @ Elysian Fields. Pours a very dark chocolate-brown color with thin orange edges; creamy, light-tan head with persistent fine-bubbled lacing; nice pour. Pumpkin, cocoa, and toasted marshmallows in the aroma; nice and chocolatey and lightly spiced. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: cinnamon, cocoa, and milk chocolate / coffee upfront; carefully spiced, creamy stout core; lightly drinkable; toasted marshmallow and cream. Lengthy finish: light cocoa, chocolate, coffee and light bitterness.

Draft @ Iron Hill - I was pretty psyched to try this as the flavors of pumpkin and porter/stout seem to be nice accompaniments. Darker brown color with a medium head. Aroma is roasty and spicy with cinnamon, chocolate, and roasty pumpkin. Flavor is cinnamon and pumpkin dominant with some nutmeg, chocolate, coffee, and roast. Smooth finish - really good stuff!

On tap at Iron Hill North Wales as part of their 2008 Pumpkin Fest. Pours a deep brown almost black with a creamy deep tan head that laced. Aroma of milk chocolate, toasted coconut, cinnamon, nuts, toffee and caramel. Aroma was great! Flavor of the same...a nice chocolatey porter with cinnamon notes and this interesting touch of toasted coconuts. Not sure where the coconut was coming from but this really surprised me.

<b>Taster - Elysian Tangletown - GPBF 2008 - Seattle, WA</b><br /> Aroma – Strong Stout aroma. Roasted coffee and chocolate. <br /> Appearance – Dark Black in color, Clear with a nice head. <br /> Flavor – Very nice Stout flavor. Lots of coffee, chocolate and roasty. The pumpkin was very light flavor. Spices where also light. <br /> Palate – Strong stout Mouthfeel, Good texture with a dry finish. <br /> Overall – A very nice stout flavor. The pumpkin flavor was very light but this was a great stout overall. The beer missed for the pumpkin but overall this was a nice beer.

Blackish pour with burnt coffee malts and a chocolate/coffee taste, lightly spiced from the pumpkin. Very good.
