12 oz goblet at the Schlafly Bottleworks in St Louis, Missouri. Pour is brown amber copper, slight haze, more or less no head. Aroma is spiced nutmeg, cinnamon, a touch of the pumpkin. Taste is pretty heavily spiced, nutmeg mostly, followed behind by pumpkin and a touch toasty malt. Certainly a pumpkin beer, perhaps more heavy handed than I prefer. It is very fresh and clean tasting. Palate is medium to heavy bodied, spritzy carbonation, spiced lingering aftertaste. Overall, really nice version of a style I am not usually crazy about.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is pine hops and lots of them. Flavor starts out with a decent amount of hops then follows a nice chocolate malt to round things out. Very different but it works.

Pour is a golden with an average white head. Aroma is pepper with a dull cereal. Flavor is all things hot ass pepper. Way to much pepper. It actually started to burn my lips. This is not something I would want again.

12 oz bottle. Poured a light copper color with a large, foamy, off-white head. Aroma was citrus hops, malts, caramel. Flavor was citrus, caramel and hops. Had a fantastic hop bitterness to it - a very drinkable, enjoyable APA.

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is deffinatly a bit of fresh raspberry but what about the coffee? Flavor is a light raspberry and again where’s the coffee? Has aspects of a fruit beer but almost nothing in the way of a good stout. I’m sure Schlafly fanboys will amp up the ratings on this but for me this is way to light to be considered a good beer. Also way to expensive at $9 a bottle.

Capped 750 from InternetWines.com. Pours hazy gold with a foamy 3 finger near white head. Aroma is very fruity, mildly spicey/yeasty. Seems full bodied and the carbonation is sharp and foamy. Flavor is light malt with a lot of fruit and peppery spice. It’s sweet, but not all kandi. There’s something, maybe hop, that cuts the sweetness. Whatever, it’s not cloyingly sweet, and it has a lot of presence. There’s a touch of heat in the finish, but it ends well.

Sample courtesy of Blazer06. Pours clear copper with weak off white head. The aroma is sweet with bourbon, vanilla, raisins, plums, molasses and a sense of wood. The taste is pretty smooth with vanilla and bourbon booze to go along with mild levels of dried dark fruitiness and then lingering vanilla into the after taste.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes to skim surface leaving spot lacing. Sweet candi and alcohol aromas. Sweet and hot with front to back roasted caramel and hay. Burning finish.

Asparagus and peas on the nose, a little like urine. Clear amber, medium head. Grassy clean cabbage flavor. Cherry finish. Having had Schlafly’s imperial stout and liked it, I recommended this beer to friends. I regret that.
