473ml can &#60;br&#62; 5.8&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: August 29, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #010 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Summerhill&#41;&#60;br&#62; October 2, 2019 &#60;br&#62; &#36;3.20 &#60;br&#62; The beer pours a coca-cola black colour with a creamy light brown cap on top. The cap thins out over time, but leaves a little lacing. The aroma is pumpkin and spice forward with a hint of roasted malt, coffee, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a competition between the spices and the coffee for dominance, although I feel the coffee wins out in this one. The pumpkin flavour is present but not overpowering. The finish is both bitter and tangy. A good pumpkin beer.

Chocolate is the aroma of the day with hints of roasted nuts, coffee, and vanilla rounding out the nose. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour…..I’m not a fan of. While I don’t get any cherry in the aroma, I definitely get tart cherries in the flavour, and they dominate the chocolate and mocha notes in the background. I love black forest cake. I do not love this beer however.
