Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of malts and caramel. Poured amber/gold in color with a tiny, off-white head that lasted around the edges only. Flavor is slightly sweet. Tastes of malts, grains, slight caramel, slight peppercorn, and slight tea. Medium body. Thin, lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Malt, grain, and slight pepper finish is dry. No hint of pumpkin or spice other than pepper.

On tap at Capones. Poured a medium yellow color with a small sized white head. Aromas where faint and consisted of spices and grainy. Tastes of some pumkin, squash, and peppercorns. I agree, this was a major letdown.

Draft at Capones. Wow what a let down on this one. The aroma was almost nonexistant, slight grainy malts and a hint of honey sweetness, perhaps a faint touch of spices. The flavor was artificially sweet with a slight touch cinnamon and nutmeg followed by a pinch of heat from the peppercorns. Overall this one was simply a let down.

Tap at Capones. Pours a lightly hazy golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma was very light on this beer. Was getting faint hints of pumpkin, a touch of the pepper, none of the pie spices and some grainy notes. Flavor was about the same, pumpkin was barely there, peppercorns were just faintly there and pie spices were nowhere to be found. Dissapointing.
