12 oz. bottle Poured cloudy amber-red with thin white head. Very pungent spicy aroma which dissipates somewhat while beer is breathing. Flavor of mild pumpkin, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon with malty front palate, a bready middle with flowery finish and slightly hoppy aftertaste. This is nice. A very ’fall’ like beer for colder weather that can stand up to heartier fare, but one might be mindful to watch the flavors while pairing.

Aug 22, 2008 pours cloudy, copper with a tan/white head. Aroma is pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, and bubble gum. Tastes is slightly bitter, nutmeg, slight cinnamon, some bitterness from hope. Very refreshing and definently will warn you up.

Aug 18, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Clear copper, lasting beige head. Definitely a spicy aroma. Lots of dried spice, nutmeg. I guess it’s a style you like or don’t. This is ok. I mean it’s interesting and the spice never runs away with it.

I think the bottle I had was a bit off. Decent but slightly skunky. Lots of spice and a little pumpkin. Eh.
