Bottle I brought along to Bruce’s Birthday Bash @ CBC N1, big thanks initially to Toby Kernel for passing this ’spare’ to me at the brewery, 07/02/14. Mid black with a good sized tan head. Nose is light roast, earthy, touch of cocoa powder, dark fruit pangs. Taste comprises dark toffee fudge, cocoa powder, faint coffee, dark fruit lick. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok drinkable offering but lacks any depth for the ABV, also not much coming off in the way of coffee, perhaps a little old ?

Bottle - Toasted malts and cola. Clear bubbly brown with a thin head. Nice toasted malts, nutty and some light chocolate notes. Only a little over carbonated for my taste but overall pretty good.

Bottle, thanks to one of my friends. Poured a orange, copper color with a small white head. Aroma was notes of nutmeg, cinnamon. Nice caramel and pumpkin notes in this. Flavor had plenty of pumpkin pie filling, nice spice balance in this one. Really enjoyed it.
