Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5

Pours dark reddish brown, small tan head, decent lacing. Aroma is quite spicy, toffee, prunes, Thanksgiving spices. Flavor follows, quite spiced, sweet with little bitterness, kind of like a pumpkin beer. Not bad, but too spicy.
