| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 11, 2009 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. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA

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.
