(Thanks, Jim! Ozzy70) Bottle. A- Pumpkin spice, coffee, slightly earthy. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, beige head. T- Pumpkin spice, cocoa, roasty, bitter, black coffee. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, dry bitter finish. O- This was better than Dark O the Moon, but still weird. I think if I have a pumpkin beer that has to be the start of the show. This was fun and it was definitely a pumpkin and coffee beer but hard to love the flavors together. Loads of spice and some bitter coffee grounds. Just a lot to take in.

(Thanks, Jim! Ozzy70) Bottle. A- Cocoa, strong holiday spice. A- Black color, dark liquid, no head. T- Pumpkin, clove, cinnamon, strong nutmeg, cocoa, slightly tangy. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- I was excited for this but the nutmeg was so ungodly overpowering that it was a bitter spice bomb. Combined with a tangy gourd flavor of rotten pumpkin. Either a bad bottle or very unbalanced considering it's sorta high rated.

16 oz can from a 4 pack. Picked up at the local liquor shop. About 22 bucks for the pack, but for a big league, BA imperial stout, I'm not complaining. Dark and dense midnight black pour with a dark tan foam head. Loved the BCBS Bananas Foster, and see a lot of comparable notes here. Bold barrel notes with a semi sweet milk chocolate, banana, and vanilla. It's rich but not bothersome. Cinnamon spice is minimal, but noticeable. Rum linger is both fun and unique. An obvious dessert stout without a cloying pastry sweetness. A very good stout here. Definitely one of the more impressive Elysian offerings in recent memory.

Clear orange with thin white head. Light spice aroma. Wheat and fruit taste. Relaxing finish. An end of the day beer. BTW, this is not out of production anymore. I just had a pint.

Draught @ Yard House, Las Vegas. Pours clear deep golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, floral, citrus, orange and piney. Taste is medium sweet and heavy bitter with a long malty, floral, citrus, piney, caramel and orange finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

19.2oz can @ final beer tasting, Chez Sophie, Aug 24. Thanks Jeremy for this. Misty gold, large white head. Rosey sweet, orangey, hoppy bitter.. decent misty IPA offering but lacks bite and a full bodied sweetness expected of such a strong American IPA.

Monday 5th August 2024, the last Minutemat led Shrewsbury Beer Gathering, five guys, loads of beer and bollox. I brought this UK pint can back from the US to share, cheers me! Golden body, not too hazy, but hazed non-the-less, white topping. Hoppy, fruity and fairly bitter, certainly an orange like twang to it. Liked it, our first beer of the session.
