From the backlog. Light brown. Bit Hazy. Thin head. The aroma is molasses - rum barrel? - alcohol, nutmeg, cinnamon. Really appetizing nose. Sweet, spicy, light gourd, less barrel and a bit thin on the palate. Still, decent beer even if it’s not as good as the aroma promised.

Poured from 330mL bottle. Darkish orangey brown with beige head. Very similar to the pumpkin beer, but with less spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), subtle wood flavour.

Dark amber color with small head. Nice aroma of cake and spices, although it’s a bit soapy. Good body strength; some caramel flavor, moderate sweetness, soapy spices, a bit of cake (this may be the barrel aging), and a more pleasant nutty note in the final.
Not my kind of beer, rather artificial, but not too bad.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of squash, and intense cinnamon and nutmeg. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg upfront, followed by squash. Only a touch of wood from the barrels. Interesting beer -- pretty decent for what it is, but nothing special.

Bottle - Light cola and spice notes. Clearish copper with a small beige head. Sweet caramel, spice and sweet cocoa and starchy notes. Not bad.
