Color is a flat jet black with a slight khaki colored froth... Still with no discernible carbonation... Nose is very very subtle, perhaps just some light sugary sweetness and a hint of roasted malt.... Much more pronounced on the palate... Roasted malts... Light pumpkin... Hints of autumnal spice... Mesium bodied with a good bit of prickly carbonation... Nice beer all the way around but nothing exceptional...

This at first appears dull black, but is actually clear dark red under light, topped with a huge, dense tan soufflé head that clings in thin, wavy curtains.
Smell is light chocolatey pumpkin with a mixed pie spice that includes a hint of mint, as well as roasted malt and aerated nuts.
Chocolate and pumpkin come through in taste too, like having slices of chocolate pie and pumpkin pie on the same plate and eating a little bite of both at once. There's also a light nutty tang, and some spice, but not too much, mostly consisting of ginger and cinnamon, with a hint of yellow apple.
Thin to medium bodied, this has a fine but widening foam on the palate, yet still maintains a slick, watery feel with a semi-wet finish.

Pours as expected. Aroma was a little light, and is mostly nutmeg & cinnamon - any stout notes are minimal. Taste has a better balance but the spices still definitely take pole position, so much so that it tastes more just like a slightly darker pumpkin ale instead of a pumpkin stout. There's a little chocolate malt in there but that's it. Fine enough but nothing extraordinary.

Those expecting a traditional stout will be disappointed by the thin mouthfeel, but this is a dangerously drinkable beer. Pumpkin flavor is minimal, allowing for a really nice balance of pumpkin and chocolate. Really tasty session (!) autumn beer.
