Bottle at home ... Thnaks to BeerBill for this one ... Deep black thick bubbly tan head ... sweet pumpkin nose ... Pumpkin kicks through right away along with a heavy spice (cinnamon and nutmeg) ... Its only then that the roach malt with a little chocolate breaks through... the pumpkin persisit though the whole flavour profile ... Decent enough and worth the experience.

Courtesy of Sea Bass. Pours deep darkness with ruby red edges and thin tan head. The aroma is sweet pumpkin and smooth cinnamon followed by a touch of dark roasted malts. The taste has bolder winter to cinnamon spiciness than noticed in the nose followed by moderate pumpkin, dark roastiness and mild malt astringency.

Courtesy of damienblack. Pours black with brownish head. Aroma of pumpkin. Taste, roasted and pumpkin. Overall lots of pumpkin and roastiness, light hoppy aftertaste and some nice spices (light notes of cinamon). Beer remains very sweet and drinkable.

Extra thanks to captaincougar. Pours with a large, frothy, off-white head and a deep brown body. Good retention and decenet lacing. Aroma of pumpkin, allspice, horse manure, chocolate and pie crust. Taste is astringent allspice, with pumpkin and light coffee grounds. Very thin and watery mouthfeel with light carbonation.

Has a tan head and a black body. Looks just like a stout ought to. Spicy and malty aroma. Pumpkin overtones with a slight chocolate taste. Rather spicy. I think this is a really good take on the pumpkin beer.

Sehr interessanter Geruch, gewürzig, eigen. Gewürziger Antrunk, sehr eigen, kaum zuordbar. Frisch herb-würzig, dann zusätzlich trocken malzig. Fruchtig, dunkel, sehr harmonisch. Dunkel kräuterartiger Antrunk. Vielen Dank an kappldav123! Test vom 24.9.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,11,11,12,12,11 - 11,20

The bottle great, the beer in the glass also. Deep dark. Tastes very complex, notes of liquorice and potato. Also woody and earthy. Strange, but good! Big thanks to jjpm74 for this beer!

-@ Brazen Head on cask-pours a light tan head and black color. Aroma is pumpkin, dark/medium malt-chocolate, spices. Taste is pumpkin, dark/medium malt-chocolate, spices, some (cascade?) hops bite, some alcohol. Occasional. OK carbonation.

Draught pint at Sunset Grill on 10/6/07
Deep coal black with perhaps a touch of deep auburn-mahogany. Dark beige head is small and fizzles to nothing, leaving no lacing. Medium-low clarity.
Sharp spice shoots up the nostrils, definitely some cinnamon-nutmeg and quite dry. It recovers with some light caramel and cookie dough-like sugars, but only briefly, before a very ashen black malt astringency shuts off any sweetness and really kills the aroma. Some pumpkin notes trickle through, with more spices, but there isn’t anywhere near enough beer flavor. Not overdone on spices, other than up front, and not overdone on pumpkin either, but just because things arent overdone, as I always say, dosent mean they’re particularly good. I don’t find much else here. Some chocolate comes through with warming, but it’s way too much dark malt. No flaws or alcohol.
Somewhat better in the flavor, with some soft slippery textures and lightly sweet choco-caramel. Spices are quite pronounced though, and hang on the finish, dulling the beer character. Very ashy, and char-like, with little pumpkin character. Just not enough malt suppleness for a stout. Traces of vanilla, light smoke and ash linger. No alcohol or flaws.
Looks like the bottles are MUCH better.

Pours jet black into a shaker. Mocha-colored micro head subsides to skim surface. Pumpkin, spice and smoke aromas. Creamy with upfront smoked malt and a lasting pumpkin spice finish.
