The Spice Must Flow is an ode to one of the most beautifully basic joys of Autumn; the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Awaken the dormant parts of the mind with this melange of seasonal flavor finished with heaping masses of vanilla bean and chocolatey Salvadorian Coldbot Coffee beans, capable of folding the very fabric of space and time.
Enjoy and share responsibly, for he who controls the spice controls the universe! First released in 2017.

CBJ Staff Training. Bottle. Opaque-hazy dark brown. Thin foamy light beige head. Aroma is very spicy. Flavourwise it has spice and underlying coffee. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hmmm..

Bottle split at the locked in tasting @CBJ Bermondsey, thanks to Dave, 29/04/2026.
Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a light beige cap.
Nose is caramel, pumpkin pie, fruit esters, herb.
Taste comprises pumpkin, coffee bean, spice, fruit rinds, toasted brown sugars, vanilla.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Decent mellow sipper, likely one of the highest SHV style beers I've raked.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear amber brown with small off white head. Pumpkin, wood, light cinnamon and other spices, feint hint of rum. Pretty good for a pumpkin beer.

500mL bottle. Pours dark brown with medium beige head. Aroma like pumpkin pie: pumpkin, winter spice, bready malt. Flavour has pumpkin, winter spice (cloves, allspice, cinnamon), bourbon, rum. A bit of boozy warmth. Pumpkin flavours very well-incorporated into the base beer; fantastic.

Light amber-brown sort of colour, bright with a good head. Ok, there is a lot here. I get pumpkin, but I also get of course the coffee and the spice. Balanced, and for a pumpkin beer is quite elegant. On the palate, it tastes very pumpkin, light spice in the finish, with dark sugars and rum rounding out the finish. This is well-rounded, good balance and big flavours.
