4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Quite good but nut spectacular. Very nice pumpkin spice aroma. Good porter base, and good pumpkin taste. But maybe just a hair too dry and roasty. If they dialed in a bit of malty sweetness this would be a home run. That said, very enjoyable!

pours dark with a small offwhite head. aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla and a few other spices. pumpkin flavor isn’t overpowering with a hint of vanilla and roasted malts. overall a solid seaonal brew.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown pour with a thin light tan head. Aroma full of pumpkin spice and some vegetal notes. Charcoal, coffee and a light burnt malt aroma. Just a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Tastes more like chocolate with pumpkin added than the other way around. Mainly chocolate malt flavors, paired with pumpkin and some light spice notes. Finishes somewhat dry and roasty. Mouthfeel is good, finish is quite clean. Interesting. Certainly piques my interest in pumpkin stouts.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: nice, dark ruby brown color with a small tan head. Rich, sweet chocolate aroma. Flavor is nice... All porter but twisted in there is the wonderful pumpkin pie spiciness. This is a nice beer, Very unique in a tasty way.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a murky redish brown with a finger of light brown head. Minimal lacing/beading.
Very malty on the nose - definite nutmeg, pumpkin, squash, some cinnamon, caramel, quite a bit going on here.
Tasty stuff. Usually this style is restricted to the autumn months and it is refreshing to get this robust profile in early May. Full bodied, obvious spice, yet approachable. Some bright fruits linger on the afertaste.
Overall, this is a style that, honestly, I wish had a year round presence. I can see why people confine it too a certain season though as it definitely fits the bill.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Really excited about this beer- but somewhat dissappointing. Nose was not great. Flavors of roasted malts, distant chocolate, nuttiness. Some pumpkin upfront. Ended w/ an unpleasant vegetal/ medicinal note. Might be decent after aging a year? Not too enjoyable.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Appearance: dark, dark brown with ruby edge tones and foam tan head. Aroma: nice mix of cocoa, vanilla and pumpkin; really nice. Taste: sort of toasty malts upfront, cocoa vanilla hint of pumpkin in the middle, finishes with a coffee bitterness. Mouthfeel: medium creamy body, surprisingly high carbonation. Overall: pretty good. Something about it seems like it could be better. Definitely a good one for the pumpkin style.

Release #6. Pours a rusty root beer brown with a creamy tan head. The nose is vanilla, bourbon, pumpkin pie, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. It also has hints of bitter chocolate. The pallet is pumpkin pie, burnt sugar, vanilla, spiced cake, and chocolate. It finshes with a bitter hoppiness and bitter sweet chocolate.

Bottle: Pours a clear brown dark with a medium tan head. The nose is chocolate with some nutmeg or allspice. The taste shows some pumpkin with nice maltiness. The mouthfeel is well balanced with a nice medium mouthfeel. This is a nicely balanced beer
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber, batch #3, pours a deep brown with thick tan head. Aroma is very clean and yeasty with some spices. Flavor is richly malty with some clean yeast that gives it a classic porter taste, but then there is pumpkin pie spices and a little bit of hop fruitiness. Overall this is a very interesting brew I like the classic porter profile a nice pumpkin addition with some cool spice to it.
