16oz pour is a hazy melon color lacey white head. Nose is bright, melon, orange, mango, herbs, perfume, grass. Flavor has some grass and green onion, under ripe pineapple. A little beery on the back of the palate, not sure what's up there, maybe a little under attenuated. Finishes medium bodied with a juicy mouth feel. 8 3 7 3 13

Pint can, poured clear orange amber with off-white head not retained long. Medium bodied. Nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon aroma. Taste is more pumpkin spice than pumpkin. Squash finish was somewhat an off note.

16 oz. Aroma is pumpkin pie spice with cinnamon and nutmeg and what smells like clove and vanilla to me. A lot like pumpkin pie. Pours nearly clear golden with a one finger bone-white head with good retention. Taste is lightly bittersweet, with flavors of pumpkin pie. Finishes with a light herbal hop bitterness. A little thin and watery for 8.5%. Smells amazing and tastes pretty good. Above average pumpkin beer.

Can from Tavour. Pours brassy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of lime over breadiness. Med body. Flavor is lime, salt, breadiness and that bitter citrus flavor of kumquat. That's pretty much it, tho it seems to have some wheat towards the finish. Session ale.

Can from Other Chris: pours light orange with a white head. Aroma is mellow fruitiness, a bit of strawberry, and some citrus, especially lime. Taste is limey, lightly bitter. Some aftertaste. Not bad, but weird for a NEIPA.

Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness, a light to moderate sweetness, with flavors of Tang and oranges, peel and pulp, vanilla. Not bad.

Big pounder can as pictured for $2.50 at house of 1000 in warrendale, nice place. Slight choco malt nose. This flavored stuff is big and black as well as large and in charge. Boozy from the start. Large foamy and creamy tan head fades after a few minutes. Interesting flavors of coffee and dark chocolate abound yet its not over the top. Charred bitter chocolate peaks through in the middle. Weird stuff these choco stouts. Pretty good carbonation for a strong stout and I like that, its kind of creamy and cutting as a result. The co2 takes my mind off the volatility of this stuff. Yes, old burnt damp campfire wood flavors tend to sneak in on the finish. Yes, in the end, I find this to be better than expected; I was expecting some kindah cloying brew but this stuff did not disappoint. Did not feel much like over 6% during eh session but now I think I'm gitten just a little bit dizzy, heheeh! One of the better imperial stouts I've had for a long time.

750ml bottle pours an oily black with ruby edges and a ring of brown head. Nose has malt, molasses, licorice, booze, cherry cordial. Flavor has toast and wood shavings, cherries, licorice, malt. Warmed up and got better. A touch hot on the finish though.
