On tap at the brewery, Murky amber brown color with a smallish off white head that shows moderate retention. Earthy piney bitter resin hop aromas with a faint bit of caramel maltiness. Bitter resinous flavor is a bit harsh at times, light grassy and caramel flavors suppurating. Not horrible, but lots of bittering hops in this one.

Pours black into a tulip. Mocha head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Chocolate and espresso aromas. Thick and dry with sweet hot chocolate upfront turning to licorice before the lasting espresso finish.

Bottle from The Lazy dog Deep copper color with a decent white head. Aromas are huge with brown sugar, caramel and pumpkin spices. Light bready malt flavor with the sugar and spice form the aroma. Not the worst pumpkin brew I’ve ever had but still not a style I gravitate toward.

Sample at GABF 10/03/2014, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Dark orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Strings of lace. Aroma of malt, nutmeg and caramel. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt and pumpkin spices. The finish is sweet with a malt and nutmeg aftertaste. Decent overall.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving scant trailing sheets. Sweet caramel aromas. Sharply carbonated with sweet dough and caramel upfront turning to corn before the dry mildly bitter earth in the lasting finish.

Growler shared by someone tonight, thanks. Wow thats quite the crystal clear straw color. Light hints of lemon and coriander, watery thin body. I think this cleared too quickly and dropped most of the flavor. Meh!
