On Tap. Pours with a murky brown body and a large tan head. Aroma of candied yams, lots of spice, clove, cinnamon, brown sugar, and perfume. Taste is yam pie, brown sugar and spice. Medium bubbles.

A: The pour is a cloudy dark amber/light brown color with a fluffy tan colored head. S: Plenty of yams in the nose, which is a nice change from many pumpkin/yam beers. There is a fairly decent spice character too, I pick up some all spice and cinnamon. T: The flavor still has a nice yam flavor to go along with a more substantial malt character which provides some bready and caramel notes. The cinnamon and all spice are present as well. M: The body is medium with a creamy carbonation. D: This is one of the better beers of the style. Good actual yam flavor, which you don’t see a lot in these (typically Thanksgiving) beers.
