Bottle. So this one has sat in the back of the fridge for WAY too long... pours like a stout. I'm sure you can imagine it without my description. Aromas are decidedly coffee heavy at first, which is a bit of a surprise. After just a bit of time airing out and warming I get a bit of a caramel/dulce de leche aroma/cinnamon toast, which is also a bit of a surprise since someone left this in the fridge for ages. Guess those aromas hold up well! Flavor is a pretty decent stout with a bit of that cinnamon and vanilla to the finish. Coffee up front, sweet on the backside. Mouthfeel is kinda thin. ABV is well hidden. Really good beer, especially after a couple years in cold storage.

Bottle from Binny's, Chicago. Hazy brown, stable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of pure pumpkin pie, cinnamon, chocolate powder, walnut oil, brownie, toast, marmalade, liqueur. Taste has sweet plum & apple wrapped in a malt body of pie, brownie and even milk chocolate; lots of (pumpkin) spicy notes around it. Herbal hoppy finish with spices, dried fruit and warming liqueur-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Intense pumpkin beer which manages to balance things out, very good.

Can (7/13/22) pour. It's yellow with 4-finger width white foamy head with good retention. Aroma is mild pineapple and tropical fruit with light citrus. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, the elements are all here and OK for the low ABV but should really be thought of as more of a session as it's not super strong and kind of thin.

Pours hazy gold with a small, lingering white head. It has a fruity aroma that strikes me as more of a tropical fruit punch than just citrus. There’s also some piney hops under there. The flavor is on the sweet side with tropical fruit, some hop resin, and fairly mild bitterness. It’s fairly good if average.
