A bit too much allspice and not enough pumpkin.

Look: It pours very dark brown with a tan head. It has very good head retention.
Smell: There are ginger and cinnamon aromas up front with some nutmeg. There are very low levels of roast, allspice, and pumpkin in support.
Taste: The cinnamon is the strongest of the spices followed by ginger. The nutmeg and allspice are in support. The roast is stronger in the flavor than in the aroma. There are touches of vanilla as well. It finishes with some raisin elements.
Feel: It has a medium body with a spicy and somewhat bitter finish.
Overall: The aroma good, but the flavor is very good. The flavors has a complex blend of various elements. Even though the ginger and cinnamon are the dominant flavors, the other elements are noticeable.

The pour is motor oil black with a beige & frothy head of foam that sticks around for a minute. The taste is roasted malt, dark chocolate, pumpkin, coffee, tobacco char, & leather. Cheers! B

One of the more hoppy stouts I've had in quite some time, if ever...
Looked pretty good but had a short head for a stout, the smell was almost non-existent, and a mouthfeel that was pleasantly light and crisp. But taste-wise, I found it was very much hoppy, not necessarily a bad thing but I haven't experienced that much with stouts and it was a bit detracting. Anyway, I'm sure there are some that will find this very enjoyable.

L= Deep dark brown body, with cola colored highlights on the edges. Creamy 2 finger head, which leaves substantive
lacing after several minutes... like no other pumpkin brew I have seen.
S= Solid seasonal spice smell. Cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, on top of a smoky, earthy malt base. Quite nice!
T= Now it gets tricky. Yes, I taste the pumpkin fall potpourri. Yes, I taste a classic stout. I love both styles of beer, and I
love a 7.5 ABV level. The question is do they complement or cancel each other? A bitter aftertaste... I'm on the fence.
F= I sense the oiliness of natural pumpkin mash, I enjoy the head retention and lacing. A great combination!
O= Halfway through, I could get used to this. For all the fine attributes noted above, the taste, especially the bitter aftertaste, is a bit of a downer. Sad to rate it a 4, overall.

Pours a very dark brown with a malty look head on top. Can smell nutmeg and cinnamon. Best to consume this while cold as the pumpkin and cinnamon taste goes away as it warms.
