16 oz. can from Consumer' Beverages, Niagara Falls, NY. Pours a pitch black color with a thick tan head and great retention. Good lacing. Cinnamon raisin cookie aroma. The flavor matches the aroma. Cinnamon flavor with oatmeal and raisins in a sweet dark malt base. No real pumpkin flavor. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Not bitter. Medium-heavy body. Low carbonation. The 6.5% ABV is invisible. This is a great fall dessert beer.

From a pounder can. Hazy, slightly murky, pale pour. Slight nose of off grapefruit juice. Tart but not as tart as expected, considering the label. Goes down fairly easy but it has a little bit of that processed beer feel to it lingering in the background. Not bad overall. Can't really pick out the passion fruit or the guava, but its OK.

Big pounder can for 3 bucks. Got it at JR's, almost passed it by since it was near the top of my price range; but hey, at least its not IPA related, hehehheh. Was hoping for a higher % but I guess I'll settle. Pour is very nice, increases my thirst. Foaming tan head fades soon. Nose is slight malt on coffee, coffee malt? Taste is coffee fer sher, you'd expect that. Slight cloying but not that much. Thicker rich milk stout effects on the palate. Near over the top flavor impact but never quite gets there. Yea, I'd say this is more of a milk stout than an irish stout. Creamy? IDK. Gets a little annoying on the finish until that mild euphoria takes effect near the end of the can. OK for a tick but probably would not buy again since I know what it taste like.
