Can I Get A Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino Topped With Cookies N' Cream?
Evil Twin Brewing

 

A very strange beer I never had such a dark foam that settles to almost a slime on top of the glass. Beer itself smells kind of muted not much cinnamon busy coffee cream and roast. Taste is pretty balanced chocolate then cinnamon followed by coffee roast and finished mildly hoppy. Body is on point for evil twin imperial stout profile high octane but slick and sickly sweet covers over all abv.

While it didn't really scream pumpkin it was a pretty tasty spiced cappuccino beer with an extreme ABV

 

pours dark with big head - flavors ar ll over the place each sip you pick up a different flavor . too much in one beer for me

 

 

From a 16 oz. can dated 08/24/22. Sampled Oct 9, 2022.

Gorgeous looking jet black pour underneath a deep dark chocolate brown foamy head.

The aroma is chocolate, cream, dark roast, cinnamon, and earth. The coffee characters seem low profile. But it is still inviting.

Bold, full mouthfeel. Cream and soft texture too.

The taste is sweet and alive with chocolate malts, roast, dark malts, cream, milk, and a slight cinnamon burn. Warming. Booze is not front and center. Nice brew. Long name.

 

Honestly a weird experience. Thick jet black body, very brown head with HUGE bubbles, almost looks like a bubble bath in the glass, which falls somewhat quickly and leaves what looks like powdered cinnamon on the top... kind of offputting to look at. Smell is booze and cinnamon, a bit of coffee. Taste is sweet caramel, cinnamon, booze. Feel is slick and you almost feel the powdered cinnamon in here. Not one I would go back for.

16 oz can.

Pours a motor oil jet black color with a small, bubbly tan head. Not much retention. Leaves some sticky lacing along the glass.

The aroma brings lots of cookies and cream ice cream, chocolate syrup, and faint pumpkin spice coffee.

The flavor is dominated by chocolate and cookies and cream ice cream. There's very faint pumpkin spice and even fainter coffee. Borderline cloying.

The feel is full bodied with lower carbonation. Sticky, syrupy, and boozy.

Overall, this is a solid pastry stout. The pumpkin flavor is barely noticeable and it drinks like a full glass of straight bourbon (without having any bourbon), but it's not terrible. A bit too sweet and 16 ounces is hard to finish.

Poured on tap the oily black body supports a light brown head that quickly dissipates, leaving chalky pumpkin spice sediment and floaters along the glass. The taste is a decadent and sweet combination of pumpkin spice, cookies and cream, and subtle underlying coffee and toasted malt that rounds out the flavor profile into a sweet but harmonious balance. It’s a unique combination of flavors and in my opinion tastes great, but it would be hard to drink more than one or two in a row.

Very nice appearance. Good head production and decent retention. No floaties.

Nose is fairly classic stout, with some added sweetness, but no impression of pumpkin spice. Slightly metallic.

Very sweet, with impressions of cookies and cream, cappuccino, and pumpkin spice, in that order. In other words: the pumpkin spice adds an almost subtle layer of complexity to this beer, which is itself still very much a dessert beer. No sense of the metallic note from the nose.

Thick and nearly chewy.

This is a fantastic dessert stout, rich and sweet but not cloying. There's quite a bit going on, even if it is a bit gimmicky. It's pretty much precisely what it claims to be, and yet is better than I expected.

With one hand in the spice pantry, one hand in the coffee shop, and somehow another in the trick or treat bag, Evil Twin devises a stout that has aspects off all these things autumn.

Can I Get A Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino Topped With Cookies N' Cream? may seem like no tall task to our local baristas, the beer world is nearly as adapt to such combination of flavors as the Imperial "pastry" Stout pours oily, viscous and downright thick with thatch and tar-like appearances. As a creamy mocha froth floats the rim, the scent is a warming melody of chocolate, coffee, cream, pumpkin spice and a tingle of rum. Sweeter in its taste, the first sip is a booze soaked sugary taste of dark chocolate, toffee, molasses and condensed milk all wrapped in a cake batter consistency.

As the flavors slowly unfold on the middle palate, the lavish malts saturate every tastebuds completely with sweetness, wavering only to allow for the flavors of espresso, cocoa and light smoky char to penetrate its malty influence. Warming spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and allspice add a pumpkin pie set of complexities with a shy attempt to balance the sweetness. Soothing with vanilla and heavy cream, the late palate is calm yet remaining dense. Trending warm with the effects of alcohol and the late palate is a pie-spiced jolt of rum.

Heavy on the tongue, palate fatigue steps in quickly as the decadent stout finishes pleasantly cloying, thick and with dessert-like impressions. A long after palate of rum soaked cake batter is persistent with those pie spiced and a praline cling to the mouth.
