Abomination Brewing Company Toxic Earth DIPA brewed with local honey and Matcha

Grinch green from the matcha with a green tinged head. Lacing impossible. Kiwi, matcha, caterpillar tar, baked lemon, lime rind on the rhino. Candied lime peel, honeyed matcha and sage on the slug. Bursts of cartoon color on the melon. Associative, misleading and fun all around. Feel the toxins flee!

Barely browning, otherwise complete tonally. Blood. Coffee rye nose nibbles black olive edges and oozes pouch tobacco. Devil’s food chocolate with corresponding moisture. Black cherry. Blackberry and boisenberry.smatter the graham cracker crust in the cedar bowl. Joyous purple flowers of every persuasion. Palate shows heat without being blowsy. Likely the product of concentrated licorice, black currant, cassis and tobacco, ax well as vanilla. Burnt flatbread, charred bbq tips, pencil scribbling that never quit and smoky rock.

Evil Twin Brewing, New York City ‘Our most popular Pumpkin Ale’

Apple cider colored verging on hazelnut. Strawberry blonde head with browned butcher paper accents. Hog snout expansive lacing leaves Templar chain hood closing eye slit to rudimentary Pac-Man ‘Inky’. Nose of cinnamon roll, sweet potato and baked pumpkin. Palate is perfect mouthfeel, with green apple notes followed by cinnamon toothpick, allspice, nutmeg brown sugar and caramel. Pecan and filbert entertain in the finale! Bravo! This one will put a goofy grin on your face, and light a candle in your heart!

Grapefruit malty citrus nose with cinnamon and vanilla. Buttery Pineapple palate glowing with richness. Creamy mouthfeel stays consistent with the theme. Big, round and cloven.

9.2

Great pumpkin amber coloring with a decidedly orange hued pate. Lacy trim drops hearts and tiny pumpkins. Plenty of pumpkin on the nose accented by caramel apple and acorn squash. Cinnamon sticks allspice, mace and cloves dominate the palate, with cedar and oak forming the fiddle in the middle. Apple cider tangy on the finish. Just an intense and interesting Florida offering from Wesley Chapel. Fall gold,

Glass painting purple-black with vivid reflectivity. Zero variation. Chocolate mint nose with dried blackberry. Cassis and currants. The general aspiration of taste buds awakening to a joyous mouthfeel showing fruit and oak tannins in a nice dance. Cedar, blackberry black cherry and baked black currant with mint a sparkling resonance that gives and gives again. Very nice.

Rim to rim no waver. Slightest bricking. Nose of earth, chocolate, cedar, violet. Palate showing grainy tannins and bing cherry shrouded in black currant with red currant emergent. Black mushrooms have a showy cameo with a chocolate-tobacco high kick. The wine is slightly green and just slightly aggressive though thoroughly enjoyable in every sense. Give this one a couple more years, even if most 10s are showing. Enormous energy with black cherry riding out the sunset.

Brown ale brown tinged with red amber. Cream soda colored topping. Orange amber after the cloud break. Chunky casserole or ground beef in cartoon contrast lacing turns to logo eye dot and eyebrow. Owl last gasp and finally Punch’s nose shape. Rich scents of sassafras and nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice, sweet coffee and sweet roll. All of the aforementioned meld wonderfully on the palate, with a resonant mouth coat. This is great this year!! Excellent work. Captures the pumpkin and the season.

Epic Brewing Imperial Pumpkin Porter

Motor oil black. Inscrutable. Chocolate Milkshake head that looks like espresso creme. Knotted wood and sinewy beast lacing that sticks in low mountainous horizons and zygotic wigglers. Pyramid mound marks the dissolution. Cacao and allspice nose with vanilla hints entices. Cinnamon-chocolate palate brings brittles and caramels to a baked brown sugar. Delightful.
