12 oz. bottle purchased at Total Wine & More - Melbourne, FL. Pours a pitch black color with a small tan head and good retention. Spots of lacing. Mostly pumpkin pie spices aroma. Good mix of dark roasted stout and soft pumpkin pie spices with a little boozy finish. Semi heavy body and creamy, dry mouthfeel. Low carbonation. The 7.5% ABV is fairly hidden.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Total Wine & More - Melbourne, FL. Pours a cloudy orange-bronze color with an off white head and good retention. Decent lacing. Pumpkin pie spices aroma. The flavor matches the nose. Sweet pumpkin pie flavors, but not overly spiced. Tastes just like their Night Owl as the 8.4% ABV is very well hidden. Medium body. Smooth and clean with a long finish. Nice. Fall in a bottle.

Cinnamon and nutmeg aroma, charred oak underneath. Black, medium tan head. Charred oak, nutmeg, cinnamon. Medium body, easy carbonation. Heavy on the nutmeg, which I despise, but it seems to work very well in a stout.

Fairly light golden and orange coloured body with a very large, super soapy off-white head that fades quite slowly and leaves a terribly ugly lace on the sides. Strong dry and herbal flavours dominate the aroma with a tiny dose of citrus fruits, in the form of oranges with only a touch of sweetness and hardly no alcohol at all on the edges. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours show at first with a softer hit of flowers annd some perfume with a dry kick of grapefruit and full oranges and the associated bitterness, all with no real sweetness or secondary flavours nor any malt support. Aftertaste is very crisp with the dryness and herbal flavours the strongest and the bitterness quite strong as well, but that is it in terms of profiles. Overall, a fairly underwhelming beer, especially for the style, since while there was some citrus noticeable, there was no sweetness or juiciness and definitely not much haze. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Food Lion in Oak Hall, Virginia on 14-June-2020 for US$1,67 sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-June-2020.

12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & More - Melbourne, FL. Pours a cloudy dark bronze color with a tight off white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Fall spice aroma. Strong pumpkin pie flavors throughout. Good balance of sweet and spice. Tastes like fall. Medium body and medium finish. The 6.7% ABV is warming but well hidden. Well done.

12 oz. bottle. Pours an opaque dark brown color with mahogany highlights and a thick beige head with great retention. Good lacing. As expected, aroma of fall spices and light coffee. The flavor is darker coffee than the nose, and the spices are lighter than the nose. Just enough fall spices to keep this from being just a coffee ale. Smooth with low carbonation. I don't like coffee but this isn't bad.
