From the label“Lord Gourd, the merry prankster, will lure you into the wood with his mischievous ways and delightfully toasty aromas of vanilla and pumpkin pie. This blend of our oak barrel-aged Black Widow Porter and Longest Night Barleywine Ale conjures the crunching of leaves, autumn bonfires and warm gatherings.”
