The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is spicy hops, spice, citrus, and pepper. Taste is certainly not pumpkin. It is rather bitter. There is some cream ale up in there, but mostly, this is just a hoppy strong ale. Alcohol is rather well-covered.

2013 vintage. Growler from Buy Rite in Cranbury, NJ. Pours a pale yellow gold color with a small bubbly white head. Big citrus hop aroma is redolent of pine needles and grapefruit. Crisp toasted malt flavor has complex spicy citrus hop domination. It’s all about the Citra hops here. Wonderfully complex and flavorful.

Drop Off Service, NYC tap ($7): Pours cascading head, black, with beige looking foam: very pretty. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, hops. Taste is, as someone else noted, more like a dry stout than a sweet stout. Hop and roasted malt bitterness both present in good effect. Nice and creamy body. Quite good.
