Bottle. Pours pure black with a cocoa colored head. The aroma is typical pumpkin beer, but the flavor is more of the roasted coffee notes of a good stout with light hints of the spice and pumpkin. Really good seasonal beer.

Bottle. Thin black pour with moderate khaki head. Aroma is predominantly pumpkin pie: notes of candied yams, nutmeg, brown sugar, some slight roasted malt. Flavor is delicious of pumpkin pie with the slightest touch of roasted coffee. Plenty of nutmeg and candied yams. Velvety palate with a moderately thin body. Tasting blind I would have thought this was a pumpkin brown ale since it is so light on the stout, but I really really like this.

dark stout appearance, pumpkin taste comes through in the aftertaste, not too strong, satisfying

Bottle, pours a nice black and a nice smell of pumpkin and roasty malts, very nice taste, a lot of stuff is going on in this beer, it has a pumpkin taste and a overall good taste.

pumpkin and roasty aroma. flavour is pretty much the same but with a really lighter mouthfeel

Finally got this in a trade from NYC. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head that slowly dissipates to a thin off-white ring. Aroma of chocolate and Hops, nutmeg, a hint of allspice and vanilla. Taste is medium bodied, with more distinct chocolate and pumpkin flavors with some biting hops and Oak. Finish is semi-sweet a light smoked background with mild pumpkin aftertaste. Very interesting, More Hops than I would expect, And not as much "Pumpkin" spice as I would have liked. But a very good Brew.

Wow this is a good beer,very thick with good pumpkin flavor and dark chocolate under tones.

12 oz bottle. Not sure what to think of this, a pumpkin stout? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. It pours a nice color, a deep black with a frothy, foamy tan head. The smell is off. There is just too much going on and no coherency. There is melon, spices, cocoa, metal, and a bit of pumpkin. The flavor is like a mix of a brown ale, a stout, and a winter warmer. It doesn’t taste like pumpkin at all, and I don’t think it is that bad. It is like a spiced porter i guess. Just a bad recipe, maybe to some people it sounds good but you also have to execute something that sounds good. It does taste good, but the smell is way off. That being said the people at southern tier shoudl take a note of this brand’s subtlety.

Aroma - Nice pumpkin spice Appearance - black as nice, nice head, Taste - Slight pumpkin taste but the stout aspect could be a little stronger. Palate - Could be a little smoother; not as much body as I would like in a typical stout. OVerall - A solid seasonal stout. Not in love but I’ll buy it again.

Pick up on pumpkin and spice in aroma and taste. Maybe I don’t like the style, but the stout makes the pumpkin and spice stick in your mouth for a while after drinking. It can get a little sickening after a while. Decent for a taste, not a whole glass.
