Hey! This beer is haunted! Don’t drink it! Yes, I know it’s a dark, roasty porter with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and chocolate, and it tastes amazing, but don’t drink it! It’s! Haunted! Fine. But don’t run to me when the walls of your fridge start bleeding.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized brown head left decent lacing. The aroma was dry with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, malt and cola. The flavor was dryish, malty, toasty and bready with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, cola, chocolate and pumpkin. Medium length finish. Medium body. Ok.

Thanks Chris for the bottle. He let me know it’s an infected batch. Oh well. I like sours, right? Pours a dark black with a 3 finger off-white head. Nice lacing but fades instantly. Smells of cherries, burnt cough syrup and toejam. Hint of pumpkin. Taste is whoa. Very smokey followed by a soured infection..but not tart or sour in a good way. Finish is nutmeg, cloves and more smoke.

Sample at GABF 10/13/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking.The beer is a cloudy brown color with a medium tan head and sparse lacing. Aroma of malt and chocolate. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, sweet chocolate and a touch of sweet spice. The finish is sweet and malt. Falls short as a "Pumpkin Porter" but otherwise decent.

12 oz. bottle. Excellent eye appeal. Deep brown with ½ inch thick fluffy foamy head. Good retention. Aromas of roasted malt and baker’s chocolate. Taste is very much a standard porter. Roasted malt, chocolate with a hint of smoke in the backend. Nothing wrong with the flavor except for the fact that I can’t find a hint of pumpkin, spice or fall flavor in it. Am I missing something here? Must be totally different on draft. Not bad in anyway just not as advertised.

On tap at GABF 2012. Pours a cloudy brown color with a medium white head. A sweet nose of spicy pumpkin and other spices. Smooth light roast, toffee, bug spicy flavor with distinct cinnamon and pumpkin. Good.

Sampled at GABF on Saturday October 13, second sessionAs "Evil Genius - Trick or Treat Chocolate Porter". Should this really be listed as a Spice/Herb/Vegetable?Hazy dark brown color, tan head. Sweet, dry, smoke scent. Herbal, bitter taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium high bitterness.
