Bomber on 6th March 2019 while on holiday in California. Slight haze to the brown body, off-white head. Pumpkin (surprise, surprise) aroma and taste, fairly sweet actually. I am no expert on Pumpkins in general let alone Pumpkin Ales, but this seems fine to me. Bit one dimensional maybe, but certainly got Pumpkin flavours.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.

12 oz. bottle.

AROMA: Strong scents of coffee and milk chocolate

APPEARANCE: Pours dark, black, and opaque with a dark tan head that dissipates slowly.

TASTE: It tastes as good as it smells! Lots of dark-roast coffee flavor, followed by smooth chocolate.

MOUTHFEEL: Smooth and creamy with a medium body. Carbonation is about average.

OVERALL: The flavors blend nicely with the creamy texture. Definitely one of the better milk stouts that I've tried. Most of them tend to lean more towards the milk than the stout. This one, however, is pretty evenly balanced.

Mild malt aroma. Cloudy copper, thin yellow head. Dried leaves, grass, sweet malt. Medium body, easy carbonation. Nice balance.

12 ounce can from a Pick N Save, 2.3.19. Slightly hazy copper, large foamy off-whitehead, good retention. Aroma of onion, toast, earth, tropical fruit. Taste is pale malt, earth, berries, onion. Thin bodied, lingering bitterness, oily. Very Mosaic heavy. Decent. Date 19SEP18, so a fair bit of age on this but not too bad.

Bottle from Beer Cats 2019 fukubukuro. Pours nice amber, bit cloudy and with some beige foam on top. Lots of pumpkin in the nose, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg also prevalent, sweetish and malty. tastes sweet, again good pumpkin character there, same spices, kind of tastes exactly how it smells, just some btter hop notes are leading to a relatively sharp finish, no particularly long linger there. Pretty solid pumpkin beer, methinks.

Winter warmer. Pours a cloudy dark orange-gold color with a thick khaki head and great retention. Very good lacing. Very light hops aroma. Soft fruity hops flavor up front with a touch of orange rind in the finish. Hops flavor increases a little as it warms. Very light for a strong ale. Warming, but not boozy. 8.5% ABV is very well hidden. Pretty decent.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is murky orange (lots of fine white particulates) with light sparkle, finger-width foamy, off-white head with poor retention and modest lacing. Aroma is bread, astringent alcohol. Taste is fruit, bread, sweet sugar candy. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and mostly sweet with mild bitter finish. Overall, mostly just a sweet, fruity, somewhat astringent beer. Forgettable.

Refrigerated 22 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Hazy burnt orange with small white head. Aroma is pumpkin, medium body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is malty pumpkin and nutmeg.

Tap. Pours murky dirty orange, small orange white head, great residual and lacing. Aroma is a bit of dishwater, pine, orange. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, thick ants resinous. Over ripe citrus. Full body, thick.
