Cape Ann Fishermans Pumpkin Stout

Black in colour with ruby edges, near headless, no lacing. The aroma is slightly spicy, some cloves, coffee and roasted malts. The flavour is of pumpkin and spices to start turning to coffee and roast, some chocolate. Lightly spicy mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a bit of spice, roasty.

An interesting take on a stout and a refreshing change to the everyday pumpkin beers.

From my backlog. Now this was a bizzare brew! Rather high degree of black specialty malt with several various spices and pumpkin. Nutmeg, a little vanilla, coriander, cinnamon, milk chocolate all add to the complexity. Touch of smoke for good measure. A bit light on the body and mouthfeel. Huh, not sure what to make of this. Worth a try.

Bottle thanks to jjpm74. Pours a very dark brown with almost no head at all. The aroma is like a good stout with some spices and pumpkin. The taste is really nice; a smooth spicy mix with pumpkin, lightly roasted malts, cinnamon, and some bitterness. Really quite nice and unique. I think this could be a good drink all year ’round. I liked it a lot.

Thanks to Douglas88 for bringing this. Nose is spicey fo so’ almost clove like. It wasn’t bad, but the spice was a bit dominant, too much so for me.

Draught at Hop Devil, NYC. Black color, brown head. Almond aroma, fruity and with some pumpkin. Malty, fruity pumpkin flavor, licorice and viol, bitter hop notes.
