"The pumpkin-pancake stout released as a breakfast-themed novelty looked the part—dark brown in color—but fell short on execution: it poured with almost no head and came across thin and underwhelming for a stout. Tasters said it tasted like what they imagined a Pumpkin Spice Latte beer would taste like and criticized the absence of pancake characteristics such as maple or buttery notes; one panelist called it “a hack job.”" - Nikita Richardson
