3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Darkest brown, creamy beige head settles and lasts. Spiced chocolate aroma. Dark roasted chocolate malts, some coffee and allspice. Some faint spicy pumpkin does emerge as it warms, if you strain to find it. More would be nice. Average carbonation, medium bodied, lightly hopped. Mostly chocolate malt start to finish.

Pours dark with mediun head foam stays. Aroma is chocolatey. First sip is watery smokey dark malts with a deep sweetness. Aftertaste is clean. Not bad. Clean finish but too rich to drink much of.

650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark red/brown with light head. Smoky, roasted malt and light espresso aromas. More porter than pumpkin/spice flavors but one can catch the later. Just my type of type of pumpkin beer. Nice.

A heavier porter, with the pumpkin in the background. Pumpkins seem to give a hollow alcohol-like aroma to beers. Spices and a heavier mouthfeel in the bouche. OK, and am looking forward to trying this porter on its own.

Deep brown pour with a frothy brown head. Aroma is fairly straight forward porter - dark chocolate, coffee, and a hint of spice, primarily cinnamon. Nice roasted malt flavours, very subtle spices and a slight vegetal note. More beer than pumpkin spice, but enjoyable.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a very dark brown / near black with a small brown head. Aroma is almost all chocolate, no pumpkin detection for me. Flavour is well-balanced between the cocoa and pumpkin, giving both about equal room to breathe. Light-bodied, but fairly full-flavoured. Decently enjoyable.
