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.

Fat Orange Cat Cat-O-Lantern
Imperial Brown Ale

Coffee black belly; Latte summit. Bag-o-bones lacing includes crocodile skulls Alosaurus spines, falcons and equine bits. Fades to black fast. Rich coffee-mocha nose has chicory and chit scent chunks and chips. Burnt brownie and brown sugars. Coffee continues on the palate with cinnamon and nutmeg and a green streak of allspice with maple. Deep and raisin-y. Chocolate and chili!

Rosy amber body sports a Santa beard tupée. Even lacing molts to a gator emerging through swamp mix. Decaying Chameleon Timelapse. Mushroom tea and peach nose with persimmon, wheat bread and butter browning. Palate is honey droplet and stone dried plum. Immense with bitter paper edges.

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.

9.5

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.

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!

Bent Water Brewing G.O.A.T. Premium lager

Rose Gold half opacity with a snowy bucket. Arched lacings eyebrow bullseyes in rushing tribute salutes hash marks and laurels. Nose shows yeasty citrus shimmers deep reed echoes and Indian gum as well as flaky croissant. Bold and generous palate with real resonance, astounds on entry. Toasty sesame, toasty toast and tasty, yeasty blood orange and round citrus echo the rhino-impressions. The finish smacks of the lightest oak. Solid.
I see a future KC collab with Brady and Mahomes. A double Bock perhaps? I know,; sacrilege.
