tfontana Profile

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc. Saratoga Springs. Inky, cola brown with ephemeral fizzy cap of head, light viscosity, nice sparkle, trace lacing. Aroma is strong sweet malts, dark fruit (as it warms), vanilla, light roast. Taste is strong vanilla, sweet malts and caramel, late bitter chocolate. A little like plastic. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Slight off taste but overall pretty nice.

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc. Saratoga Springs. Opaque, dark yellow-light brown, nice sparkle, thin cap of head, light web of lacing. Aroma is strong, overripe stone fruit, hint of alcohol, caramel malts. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Not sure about the freshness here. Overripe fruit, a smidge of alcohol and then quite malty. Seems like aged.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 6.5

Can from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris. Opaque yellow with light sparkle, nice head with excellent retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pumpkin spice (earthy nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice), light orange, mild tart fruit, vanilla/lactose. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, lively carbonation, dry finish as taste. Pumpkin spices too prevalent w/dank, earthy edge and not digging the tart component. If you want a pumpkin beer, I'd look elsewhere.
