Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a deep dark light trapping void that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up yummy dark chocolate, dark roasted malts and inviting pumpkin meat. The taste delivers rich smooth silky dark chocolate yum flowing into dark roasted malts, spicy black licorice and a nice pumpkin pulse. Wow, rich yum. The pumpkin is right on the money and takes this to another level with perfect flavor balance. Wow, dark chocolate smoothness, nearly burnt malt crustiness and meaty pumpkin meat where you can easily tell it was toasted (oven-d) pumpkin meat. Damn! Well done. Best pumpkin beer I’ve had to date. So glad I was lucky enough to try this. I hear it was a beast to put together and brew and may not be repeated in this same mouthwatering fashion.
