Draft @ Hoppy Loft. Ambrée, col fin beige. Arôme met bien en avant le bouquet et effluves épicées mais aussi de citrouille, le tout ponctué par un malté modéré tirant quant à lui sur la pâle et pils. Palais est un peu sur la lignée all spices avec un profil rappelant la cannelle, girofle, citrouille, finissant râpeux en ouche. Malt modéré caramel pâle, pils cara ambre.

Can shared in ABZ. It pours lightly hazy golden amber with a massive off-white head. The nose is bitter - sweet, sticky, grassy, some dankness, pine needles, peach, tinned pineapple, light toffee and apricot jam. The taste is bitter, pine needles, grassy dankness, resinous, varnish, peach, pineapple, light alcohol, grapefruit and peppery spice with a lingering bitter - dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Big on the bitterness front. I rather like it. Drinks way easier than I expected.

Tap at the Delirium Hoppy Loft, Brussels. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is pumpkin, light doughy biscuit. The flavour is light bitter with a light , slightly watery smooth pumpkin palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A little one dimensional and im no fan of pumpkin but for some bizarre reason I actually liked this.

Thx! for sharing. Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Amber, little tanned head. Nose is far too heavy on iron, you get industrial cinnamon, pumpkin spice sweetness, caramel but the base seems too iron & industrial forward. Taste is iron, caramel, far too herbal, caramel, hay, pumpkin spices, cereal,.. Herbal, iron & sugar body. I like the standard pumpkin spices & the sweetness, the base far too iron forward & the taste is far too herbal. Too bad.

22 oz. bottle from Ledgers. It pours a dark brown, almost black color with a medium small light tan head that is mostly lasting. The aroma has dark chocolate, coffee, light notes of sweet cream and roasted malt and smoke. The flavor is lightly smoky with some heavy coffee, chocolate, light tobacco and roasted malt. The sweetness is there, but not too strong. No green pepper or astringency. The carbonation is low and the body is medium. Overall, a pretty enjoyable sweet coffee stout.

Lingering spicy orang rind with some earthy honey. Pretty tasty.

Can from the Woodland Nugget. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma of honey and bubblegum, and maybe citrus - but I’m not finding banana. Med body or better. Bubblegum, yeast/spice, and maybe a taste of the yucky strings on banana. Still the flavors are fairly strong, the ABV is fairly high, and it tastes pretty good. Finishes fruity/earthy, not too dry, not too bitter.
