Jun 16, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of jjpm74. Thanks, John! Pours a murky, chocolate-brown color; medium-tan head with solid fine-bubbled lacing. Very toasty: chocolate, pumpkin, and woody vanilla notes in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy, toasted oak and vanilla, lightly toasted malts, and soft spices and milk chocolate; very soft, generous spicing and milk chocolate and chewy nougats; excellent, chewy beer; quite similar to the non-barrel-aged version. Lengthy finish: nougat, milk chocolate, and lightly toasted malts. Very good stuff.

Jun 11, 2008 Dark brown in color with a tan head. Pumpkin heavily in the smell also some chocolate and spices. Taste is the same as the smell. Did not notice the alcohol. Its like having liquid dessert.

Jun 10, 2008 DFW Tasting 6/8/08 Thanks to Bu11zeye for sharing! This one definitely had the pumpkin aroma and flavor with roasted chocolate. I’m not a big fan of the pumpkin ales though. Cheers!

May 15, 2008 Bottle, thanks to puzzl for sharing this spectacle. Black pour, no head. Aroma is sweet malt, nice spiced pumpkin, a small amount of roasted malt, and sweet milk chocolate. Flavor has hints of wood, lots of sweet chocolate, light roast, and a little bit of the pumpkin spicing is still there (although not as apparent as in the aroma). I enjoyed this style more than any imperial stout I have had recently.

May 14, 2008 Bottle from my sis, shared with a few folks. Delicious aroma, every smell yields a different flavor. Reads just like the label, along with some peanut brittle and potato. Body is totally smooth, very mellow, light spices and subtle milk chocolate. Not bid by any means, but very complex, relaxed, just a great drinker. Wish this beer was easily available.

May 14, 2008 Updated: Aug 19, 2008Bottle, thanks to Andy. Not much head. Aroma is mostly Chocolate. Flavor is basically what the label says. Its a bit acidic with still tons of chocolate. Not overly impressed.
