Bottle and served in my Bells snifter: Deep brown with some reddish highlights, fading fizzy head and spotty lace. Wow, they did not skimp on the pumpkin or spices for sure, lovely combination of pumpkin and chocolate cream pie aroma. Even a hint of pipe tobacco and earthy yeast esters thrown about for extra fun and enjoyment. The taste is equally spicy, earthy and porter like. The chocolate and sweet malts are easy to find wrapped around all that pumpkin pie like flavors. The mouth feel is smooth and round but the finish is a bit ashy. Overall a damn solid brew and quite tasty. Mikey Likey this even more than Flossmoor’s Big Black Pumpkin.

Dark brown almost black with creamy tan head and lace. Pumpkin pie spice aroma dominates. Flat taste with a bit of pumpkin and an ashy like after taste. Medium full bodied with smooth carbonation. Another pumpkin spice beer that smells much better than it tastes. Very drinkable beer.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is very complex with notes of sweet malt, wood, fruit, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of soy sauce, wood, malt, alcohol, and caramel, leading to a dry woody finish. The alcohol tickles the tongue.

Bottle. Pours opaque with a small, fizzy, dark brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, nutty, chocolate, cookie), light hop (dry grass), average yeast (leather, broth) with notes of pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.
