Bottle from a trade with CLevar. Pours dark brown/black with brown head. Aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, graham cracker and roasted malts. Bittersweet chocolate and roasted malt flavors with pumpkin pie spices. Medium to full body with moderate carbonation. The roasted malt flavor adds a dimetion that makes this more enjoyable than typical pumpkin beers. Thanks Caleb.

Enjoyed on tap at Bottom Lounge in Chicago, IL while watching the band Most Precious Blood. This one really was like a chocolate pumpkin pie. Appearance very dark with creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, bit of cocoa, faint amount of pumpkin. Taste nice and creamy, not really thick, just creamy with notes of chocolate, lactose, a bit of pumpkin but not much, pretty delicious. It really is decadent and a fantastic desert brew.

Bottle: Very dark brown pour with an ample tan head. Aroma is lightly spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon and a heavy roasted malt backer. Tastes of well-roasted malts, a light chocolate sweetness, faint bitters, and the complimentary pupmkin pie spices. Nutmeg, nothing else really stands out. Smooth and creamy. The roasty presence blends very well with the bittersweet and spicey elements. Solid offering.

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, nuts and a cinnamon. Flavor is again roasted malts, some chestnuts and a nutmeg. The pumpkin was not very pronounced. As a Impy stout this was just ok but if the word pumpkin was not on the label I would not have known it was used in this beer. This may be a bit old but not that old.

Tasted at the big “SeaBass has got to go” tasting courtesy HonusWagner. Pours mahogany with tan head. The aroma has dark roasted malts, some burnt malts, mild pumpkin meat notes and mild winter spices in the background. The taste is similar with roasted malts to burnt malts leading the way creating a slight roasted malt astringency drying sensation. Well behind those notes is a thin layer of pumpkin and smooth cinnamon and nutmeg like spices.

Bottle @ Seabass going away party, Jan15th ’11 brune foncée, mousse beige Note d’épice et citrouille qui reste un peu en retrait pour laisser plus de place à l’aspect porter de la bière. Reste légère au palais avec pas mal de malt grillé et noir.

12oz bottle. Glowing red-black-brown color. Big beige head the quickly fades into an oily layer. Sweet sugary pumpkin aroma. Wow. They really nail it. Captures both Pumpkin Ale and Porter characteristics, combining them quite nicely. Rich, sugary, and full bodied, this is getting close to dessert beer. The alcohol doesn’t really show, just incorporates itself into the big flavor profile. Another solid Unchained.

One of the the best products Summit has ever made. A thick and heavy porter. Black with roasted malt. Aroma has cloves and spice. Full flavor, malt, spice including nutmeg and cardamom. The pumpkin compliments, rather than dominates. Thick on the palate.
