Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head. Subtle stringy lace.
The aroma had some toast, sweet caramel/toffee malt, some nuts.
The flavor was basically the same with a nice aftertaste building the finish in the same manner, somewhat creamy and quaint.
The feel was about medium bodied with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt good.
Overall, pretty good brown ale worthy of coming back to if I could get it again.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled in 11/2016. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, toasted dark bread, light smoke, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, pumpkin, and spice notes; with great strength. Taste of big nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, toasted dark bread, light smoke, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of nutty coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, toasted dark bread, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, pumpkin, and spice flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet and spice balance, with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is an awesome pumpkin spiced coffee stout! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, pumpkin, and spice flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. The balance between the base stout and pumpkin/spice flavors is pretty much perfect. Not overly spicy or drying, with a great mouthfeel. A really enjoyable offering.

Draft pint with a meal. Darker than an IPA, almost dark enough to be a porter. I had to remind myself again that it’s an IPA when it hit my palate. The rye and dark roast really mellows the hops. Smooth, good.

Light to medium body with flavors of burnt malt, coffee and mint chocolate. The finish is chocolatey with a subtle mint aftertaste. Above average overall.
