2$ can from chalet. I guess this is an updated recipe on the old McNasty? Pour is big black, large and in charge. Very nice performance on the pour with its choco moose head. Nose is somewhat boozy with hints of sweeter malts. Dark bitter baker chocolate is forward on the first taste. After the swig, the slightly bitter burnt old damp campfire wood feeling starts to set in. Yes, it is a little boozy, makes no bones about it. As I recall, this seems to be more behaved with manners, compare to the old McNasty. Quite an impact, yet still retains some basic stout aspects without losing itself in the imperial style. Towards the finish, bitter dark chocolate is really laying in and overtakes the ending. Not bad, but as with most of the imperial stouts, I find it difficult at times. I bet aging would help this a little. Certainly not as good as the best impy stout I ever tasted; DFH World Wide Stout 2002 (23% ABV), but maybe not quite there, with the enjoy-ability factor with the other imoy stouts I'ver rated like Brewkeeper Mad Brewer Black Storm, Two Brothers Northwind Imperial or even East End Toaster. Still, not as bad as most impy stouts I've prosecuted.

Can from chalet. Nose is raspberry backed with a little chocolate, a very nice aroma! Very clear pale with a giant white head that fades to nothing after a few mins. First taste is very disappointing, nothing like the attractive bouquet. Yea, this is first quite bitter, unnecessarily so. Something like a phenoilic or industrial bitterness. To call this a blonde is very misleading, this has got to be one of the slutty blondes of yore. Now in the middle, maybe I'm getting barely a little bit of reaspberry and just maybe some chocolate. Wow, the label of this says dark chocolate raspberry, and there is this picture of a raspberry dripping with dark chocolate. You think that looks good? Once you peel of this blondes nickers, this has got to be one of the most misleading labels I've seen in a while. Come on NH. This seems like somebody made an experiment of a brew that just didn't work, so they labeled it and sent it out anyway. Didn't somebody at the brewery taste this before it was released? Just asking.

Cheap can from chalet. Pour is clear cherry rouge, nice look! Creamy head fades to nuttin. Overly spiced nose, too many spirited seasonings on the olfactory; makes me nervous about tasting this pumpkin bomb. Whew, big boozy alky blast up front on the taste buds followed by lots of the spices mentioned in the description. However, tho very spiced up, I don't find it quite as offensive as many spiced pumpkin beers. One thing about this, is that I can't find any pumpkin in here. The booze and the spices are totally up front hiding anything pumpkin about this except the overly exuberant pumpkin pie spices. It feels like much more than the 7.5% listed. Mouth coating and somewhat medicinal. Whew, getting more difficult as the session continues. Good thing its rather higher on the hoochie juice, because its helping me forget about all those pungent aromatic attributes contained within this projectile. Overly spiced warming blitz assault for a finish. There, you have it.

3$ can from vintage. Pour is hazy pale with a rocky head. Nose is volatile boozy grassy pungent pine. First taste is difficult bitter back-talking bastard. Alarming. Sets my head back a bit. Rude crude. Negative nellie. Rototiller rocking horse. FAFO. FUBAR. Terribly on style. What else can be said. Finishes with a warming sensation from lips to small intestine. Straight up sottish bibulous.

Wow! Pop the lid on this can and the smell of fresh pineapples permeates the whole environment. The guy next to me asked if somebody was cutting a pineapple! Pour is virtually clear pale and it has a big rocky head that does not fade. The palate on this is virtually flat, quite disappointing texture and the flavor is nothing like the nose, its dull and barely pineapple; no tartness no sweetness no sizzle. The pour and the aroma get my mouth watering but the taste and feel is simply a let-down. In the middle, its dullness, supported by the flatness, is bolstered with a processed unkind lager feel and flavor. Not real enjoyable on the tongue. I'd give this on overall of 2 if it wasn't for the initial ramp up before I tasted it, hehhehehh.
