Wasatch Black O'Lantern Pumpkin Stout Brewed with Pumpkin and Spices. 6.5% Alcohol by volume. "Proudly brewed in Utah."
Full-on blackness, toasted tan head on top.
A little roasty in the nose, then some vegetal whiffs....not picking up much from spices just yet. Not getting much of anything, really.
In the mouth, there's some espresso and cocoa, I guess some pumpkin, ...maybe...possibly spices? Clove? Pepper? Pumpkin? Huh. Hmmm.
I'm going to skip ahead and read the label: "Alone in his laboratory one stormy night, a madman crossed an imperial stout with pumpkin to create this frankenbrew. How good is it? Well, scary good. Food pairings: Eye of newt. Devils' Food cake."
The thing is, though, it's not. Maybe some eye of newt would help it, who knows. Promised flavors did nothing, and the ones that were there were off, off, off. I'd steer clear of this if I were you.
