440ml can, 2025 edition at 5.4%. Unusual to see a rise in ABV these days.
Pours almost black with a good sized tan head. Aroma of coffee, cinnamon, clove. Taste is dominated by the coffee and spices, cinnamon and clove are obvious but I don't really get the ginger or nutmeg, debatable whether the actual pumpkin can be tasted as well, chocolate and roast malt, bitter finish. Medium bodied. Solid seasonal porter to be fair. Enjoyed it for what it is.

Can from HoTM. It pours clear darkest brown head. The aroma is earthy roasted malt, bright pumpkin character, autumnal spice, earthy roast, coffee grounds, vanilla and pumpkin latte. The taste is bitter - sweet, smooth, heady pumpkin character, autumnal spice, pumpkin pie, vanilla, decent hit of coffee, dark roasted malt, dark chocolate and praline with a toasty finish. Medium body and soft, but lifting carbonation. Comes together well in my opinion.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear brown with a small, creamy tan head. Light sweet flavour with some smokey notes, burnt cinnamon, a little ashy roast, cocoa, dried pumpkin, earthy hops. Light bodied with average carbonation. Somewhat dry in the finish, further autumnal spices, sturdy ashy roast. Tasty, fairly easygoing beer.

440ml can. Gushed a murky medium brown colour with a big, fizzy, light tan head. The aroma is light roasted malt and pumpkin. The flavour is light liqourice bitter with a light, watery, fizzy, herbal pumpkin palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation. Very disappointing.
