Pours dark as night with creamy tan head. A little smokiness on the nose with malty bittersweet chocolate and a little coffee with subtle earthy pumpkin and spices for an overall nice and creamy mouth.

Bottle at Home
Spicy dark warm aroma, like a molasses cookie. Dry stout start, pumpkin spiced finish.

This is so different every time I try it. In the context of this site tasting, out was actually nice.
Cinnamon and clove smell. Tangy, spiced, and malty middle. Flat finish.

Bottle at Home
Didn't get any of the smoke that I tasted so strongly on draft, and instead got just a total cinnamon bomb.
Bottle at Work
Cinnamon, a bit too thin, bitter finish.
Bottle at Den of Iniquity
Smoke and spice. Didn't work for me.
What I'd call a spiced stout. I'm not convinced yet that you can have a dark beer with what I'd call a meaty, recognizable pumpkin character. But you can definitely spice a beer, to varying success. This one was middling-to-enjoyable.
