Intriguing doses of sweet spices, dark cocoa and pumpkin transform an exceptional porter into a mesmerizing potion. Pour this tantalizing brew into a snifter and seek solace in the depths of its darkness. Cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg seem familiar, but this brew's deep dark secrets will forever haunt you.

"This sounded like a bad idea at first but hey it worked! A black appearance with a beige head. The aroma consists of chocolate, pumpkin, and licorice. The flavor contains a large dose of pumpkin balanced out by the chocolate. The after tastes is somewhat bitter. Oddly this chocolate/pumpkin combo works. Good brew!"

"This spiced porter pours a dark brown color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized tan foamy head. Aroma is chocolate, pie spices, cinnamon and pumpkin. A medium bodied ale. Very interesting…. Tastes like a cross between an Imperial Stout and a pumpkin beer. Lots of chocolate and pumpkin flavors intermix with a bunch of coffee and roasty malts. Nice beer. I wish more breweries would make weird beers like this, well a lot do but not many work as well as this one. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Again thanks to Chris C for sharing this one. "
