Cherry aroma, but not the sweet red cherry kind; seems tart. Copper color with a white head that flattened rather quickly. Near medium body until the fizzy carbonation leaves, revealing something thinnish. Whoa, it is tart. The cherry flavor is like cherry pie flavor without the sugar. That goes on into something like pie crust or bread. The finish is sourish cherry, perhaps a touch of hop bitter. If the cherry tartness is balanced with sweetness, those were pretty sour cherries to start.

Spicey aroma. Pie spice. Amber color with essentially no head. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is cinnamon and clove and pumpkin? It’s really good. Best pumpkin ale I think I’ve had. The finish is sort of astringent, maybe a hint of sweet, but definitely spices. That’s how to turn squash into something drinkable. Spice it!

Not much to say about this. Red color. Nice, but mild hop aroma. Some roasted malt and fruit, and moderate hops.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze color with a medium sized orange-tan head. The aroma was light sweet nutty malts and fruity hops. The flavor was bitter, tart, tangy and somewhat dry with moderate fruity hops and lightly vegetal malts.

Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is sweet sugary malts, some biscuit, a little corn and mild floral hops. The taste is a cut of floral and spice hop bitterness accentuated by the initial burst of carbonation. Then the sweet and grainy malts enter in an attempt to reign in the hops. The hop bitterness control the flavor and take it to the finish and beyond with hints of sweetness. A bit on the hoppy side for the style.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured thick and black with a small dark head. The aroma was bitter and dry roasty malts. The flavor was bitter, dry, roasty and had a subtle coffee flavor. The finish was long, dry and bitter. This is in no way a sweet stout.
