"Best before 2/22/22"; drank 11/12/21 @ Midsommar Phoenix.

Mostly opaque brown/purple appearance.

An even pour yielded a big khaki head; minimal lace.

Pumpkin pie & acorn notes in the nose.

Medium thin mouthfeel.

Pumpkin spice dominates with some faint acorn flavors as well.

Decent, at best.

It smells deep, dark and pumpkiny.  There are cinnamon and nutmeg scents in the background.

In a great way it tastes like a slightly burnt pumpkin pie.  The pumpkin, the sweetness, the spices and the kind of charred crust.

Medium bodied with full carbonation.  The finish is sticky sweet with a final pumpkin flavor that lingers.

This one is good.  A pretty basic dark pumpkin beer, well executed.  I give it a 4.5 out of 6.

Initially disappointing but it did grow on me, trying in Vegas cuz maybe this doesn't make it to Colorado at all. 1000% could have been better but having a bias towards darker stuff helped

12 oz. bottle -

Pours brown, The head doesn't last long, killed by fast carbonation. Minimal lacing.

The smell is of chocolate covered pumpkin pie.

The taste is of chocolate. Pumpkin pie there, more in pumpkin pie spices way, but restrained for the style. A touch of coffee roast in the finish.

It is strongly carbonated. A tad thin.

Not a big fan of this one, but it is a nice enough porter with pumpkin pie spices. One or two are enough for me at a time.

The brownish black color and tan head are visually mesmerizing.

A medium body with malty pumpkin and spicy notes of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg are perfect to make a cold, fall, evening seem "fireside cozy".

4 Peaks Pumpkin Porter is my favorite fall drink and it pairs beautifully with cheesy onion soup and a nice steak. It's regrettable I can't get it in Georgia.

Black with a small tan head that settles down to a ring, and leaves very mild lacing down the glass. The aroma is dark bread crust, pumpkin pie, and mild cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice. Same for the flavor, which is mild, overall, but easy to drink and not obnoxious with the use of spices. The feel is medium thin body, dry, and well carbonated. Low abv, and I had this with a burger for lunch. I'd have it again with food because it was lighter, and like said, not overkill with the spice flavorings; which is pretty common with these flavored brews.
