2020 Update: Pitch black with a one centimetre tall rich brown head. Aroma of nuts, oatmeal, lactose, cereal. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich licorice, anise and hazlenuts with squash for extra body. Aftertaste is rich, sweet wtih lactose and finishes with cream, burnt sugars and molasses. Overall, a nice beer for sure - better than I remember and a nice option for part of a four pack! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 08-October-2020 for US$2,75 sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-October-2020. Rating for this sample: 8,4,8,4,16. Rich deep dark brown coloured body with a thick, creamy tan head, about three centimetres tall. Aroma of roasted malt, light allspice and canella, some mellow sugars with a good deal of caramelisation along with a touch of earthy bitterness near the end. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty and earthy malts throughout with a big dose of squash right away with a pleasant and light spicey character showing the allspice, a bit of coriander seed and even a dash of anise noticeable along with a more sweet finish showing caramel and toffee. Aftertaste is deep and pungent and mostly revolves around the squash pungency, but also some light spices, a touch of sugars and a moderate amount of prune/plum fruitiness around the edges. Overall, a quite pungent and flavourful beer that shows a nice body, some good spicey notes and ending with a moderate but enjoyable complexity. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Costco in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 26-August-2017 for US$4,29 sampled at home in Manassas, Virginia on Christmas Day, 25-December-2017 with my family. Rating for Initial Sample: 8,4,7,3,14

22oz bottle, consumed last night. Poured a black color, dark brown head. Aroma was roasted, creamy malts. Light vanilla, pumpkin, light spices. Roasted malts, with some pumpkin pie. Good alternative to warlock if you want something a little creamier (and probably a touch less expensive).
