Sampled on draft this beer poured a black color with a large dark brown head that left good lacing. The aroma was smoke, bacon and wood. The flavor was roasty smoke and bacon. Tasty but lacking in complexity. Long bacon finish. Medium body.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a cloudy apricot-amber color with a large fluffy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was gritty floral hops. The flavor was bitter, dry and sour with notes of perfume, herbal hosp, floral hops and citric acid. Medium length dry finish with lingering perfume and floral hops. Light to medium body. Meh.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Brewerie, Erie Pa. Deep black color with lasting tan head. Nose deep roasted aromas. Barley, chocolate and ash. Flavor again shows rich roasty malts, charred barley and a touch of rye to give a nice beefy touch to the body. A light coffee grounds element that gives a bitterness to help balance the sweetness. Notes of charred Espresso beans. I bought this blind without knowing anything about it, a real nice surprise and I was able to drink the 22 oz. bottle really easy, nice job from this brewery!

Aroma: The aroma is pretty nicely funky and yeasty, brett, spice, and some citrus
Appearance: It pours a cloudy yellow color with a bright white, foamy head and average lace
Flavor: The taste is similar, brett, musk, and spice, mild sweet, with some tart lemon as well
Palate: The one is light bodied, it has an overly fizzy carbonation, and a dry, spicy finish
Overall Impression: Really nice example of the style. They got a nice funk presence here, and the lemony tartness and mild sweetness work nicely with the funky farmhouse flavors. Only the over carbonation keeps this from being extremely drinkable, but in general, this is really quite good.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Sparrow, 10/13/13
Aroma: The nose is full of pumpkin pie spice, dough, cinnamon, clove, yeast, and a little caramel
Appearance: It pours a clear reddish-orange color with a small beige head and minimal lace
Flavor: It is not quite as good as the nose, full of pumpkin and spice flavors, and yeast notes
Palate: This one has a nice mouthfeel, soft carbonation, and smooth, slightly dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a more than solid Pumpkin beer. Clearly this one is on the top side of what they make in my opinion, but maybe that is only because I really like the style. Still, hard to complain about the quality here.

Draft at Bocktown Robinson. Pours a hazy red color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of big citrus hops and mild toffee hops. The taste is herbal, resin, citrus hops and toffee malts. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness. Just a bit off-balance.
