16oz draught <br> 5.9% ABV <br> Bar Hop (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> November 29, 2013 <br> The beer appears to be a Black IPA with Belgian yeast and pumpkins......lots and lots of pumpkin. The pours a coca-cola black with brown edges when held to the light and a minimal head. The aroma is heavy on pumpkin with other spices, citrusy hops, and grass notes in the mix. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with mild carbonation. Flavour was dominated by the yeast and the pumpkin with the grain in the background. Flavourful and refreshing, but not something I would session with.
