From the brewer

The story starts in 1999 when Shaun O’Sullivan walked into my Seattle pub. He’d heard about my massive pumpkin fest and wanted to get together and brew a pumpkin beer like no other: a Balticstyle Porter brewed with pumpkin, caraway and cinnamon. In a light colored can.

Who's been drinking this

Peculiar grape juice smell? Very peculiar taste. Some kind of weird grape sourness maybe? Maybe some ashes flavors?
Bottle at Xbeer One
A lactic sweetness on this, tasting a bit like a pumpkin spice milkshake. That was a promising start. But there's something artificial-tasting about that sweetness, kind of like candy sour sugar.
Can at Xbeer One
Smells briny, like corned beef. Somewhat salty finish, mild brown body.
Not a bad porter, although the coffee flavor may have been a bit too burnt. In fact, my nose smelled ash at times. Decent pie spice, but no noticeable pumpkin, and a touch of sour bitterness as well.
