Southern Tier Warlock

This 8.6% ABV stout brewed with pumpkins and natural flavor is from the Southern Tier Brewing Company of Lakewood, New York. It is part of their Blackwater Series of beers with high gravity (comparing its relative density to water and indicative of the ultimate alcohol content of the beer).

The beer pours mahogany in color, opaque black, with blood red ruby and garnet when held to the light. There is a short head of thick and creamy light tan foam. The aroma is semi-sweet roasted pumpkin, spices, brown sugar, perfectly melded together like a roasted and creamy pumpkin pie, or the most rich and moist spiced pumpkin bread ever made. The taste follows the aromas, adding in vanilla and coconut to massive pumpkin and spices perfectly melded into the most perfect liquid pumpkin baked good ever made, and then the stout adds in coffee and it is like you are drinking a cup of premium black coffee as you eat the most rich and delectable semi-sweet pumpkin baked good ever made. 

This is reminiscent of Pumking, I would love to have them head to head to see if one is discernibly better.
