12 oz. bottle. Pours black, with an average, foamy, tan head. The aroma is mellow coffee, walnut, nutmeg, and syrup. Sweet and sugary, with a nice, earthy, savory bitterness. Medium body, thick, and nicely grainy. Quite good, with good balance and pleasant coffee notes.

(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.
