Aroma: “Brown sugar and toasted pumpkin followed by subtle cinnamon and nutmeg and maybe a hint of cloves. Malt sweetness is there but very subtle. Mild esters.”

Flavor: “Some caramel malt sweetness with notes of pumpkin and brown sugar followed by cinnamon, ginger, and pie spices. A bit dry with a finish that borders too close to bitter, with a very subtle lingering bitterness and very light hops flavor.”

Overall: “Very nice. At first, the spices are a bit too subtle, but as it warms, the spices grow more apparent. Needs a touch more malt backbone and could benefit from richer spicing. A slight bitterness lingers into the finish.”
