Pours deep amber to copper with white top, thick foam lasting minimal. Thick, above medium body, syrupy texture, mild dry finish, a bit astringent, pleasant mouthfeel indeed. Aroma - sweet caramely, toasted malt and overall cloves (too much) and pumpkin only far overseas notes. Taste is sweet dominant with nicely blended bitter from malt and sour. Not that I liked it very much but from this style it is really good brewed, so far best spices beer. Pleasantly drinkable, tolerable :)

Bottle. 4/16/13. Pours opaque dark brown with a fluffy, thin beige head. Aroma is pumpkin, spice,.banana, bubblegum, cinnamon, nutmeg. Taste is spicy, boozey, pumpkin spice, bitter fruit rind, vanilla. Some light lacing. Chewy mouth feel. Medium-low carbonation. It’s excellent as a beer all it’s own. It’s aromatic, flavorful, memorable. Unfortunately, the taste is much more pumpkin spice than it is pumpkin. Considering the promise of the style, this is disappointing.

Spicy nose. Pale beige head. Clear amber color. Soft full filled spicy taste. Slightly sourish. Mild hops.

Pours brownish orange with no head. The nose is pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet potatoes and caramel. The taste is high sweet and medium bitter. Fair balance. The texture is soft, heavy body and a long finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tasted 30/03/2013. Pours hazy brown with a fast-fading foam. Aroma is candy sweet, pumpkin and lovely spices mix, lovely. Taste is quite as aroma, but even more pronounced. Aftertaste is moderately spirituous, tart and spicy. Recommended. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

35,5 cl bottle @ olio, bottled 25.09.2012
Aroma is rather strong on spices – feels like a christmas beer. Also some pepper, punpkin and hints of toffee. Flavour is also very spicy with apricot and pumpkins. Too spicy but kind of interesting still.

355 ml bottle.
Pours a copper amber colour with a small white head. Aroma is very intensive with pumpkin pie, nutmeg and alcohol. Flavour is strong and spicy with cinnamon, pumpkin pie, nutmeg, lemon juice and dried apricot. Alcohol comes through a bit. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and a rich spicy finish. Rather glogg-like and enjoyable.

355ml bottle from Drink Shop, Tallinn

Pours dark orange with a small white head. Intense and strong aroma of pumpkin, spices, solvent, hints of cinnamon and glogg/mulled wine. Taste is malty, spicy and sweet with notes of pumpkin, glogg and caramel. Finish is sweet and spicy with some pumpkin notes. Quite strange and a bit unbalanced. Like drinking a cold glogg with pumpkins.
