Keg at the Clarendon, Leamington Spa. Served far too cold for the style, had to warm the glass in my hands for some time before the flavours emerged. A hazy amber brew with a thin white head. Caramel dominates, but the vegetable pumpkin note is still obvious which I'm not convinced is a good thing. The spices (cinnamon and clove?) are there but are possibly a tad too restrained. It's a bit thin. Overall it's just a bit meh. It would undoubtedly have been better on cask, which would have given it the fuller body (and less icy serving temperature!) that autumnal beers need.

Bottle shared during the London Bimble, vol. I. Thanks to Scoopey for this scoop. Pours hazy gold with a frothy white head. Certainly some autumnal spices in the nose. Medium sweet, with slight berries, bread. Light bodied with medium carbonation. Lightly spicy and bready to close. Just OK.

Bottle shared in Kernel thanks to Paul. London bimble 26/4/2014. Aroma is liquorice, spices , cinamon. Cloded dark orange coloured pour with a halo of white head. Palate is flabby, with low carbonation. Flavour is dull spices, nutmeg, liquorice, slightly sweet. Disappointing.

Bottle shared at London Bimble. Purchased from the Uto of Beer. It pours murky amber-brown with a fizzy beige head. The nose is sweet, pumpkin, butternut squash, candy, earth and spice. The taste is lightly bitter, water, spicy, pumpkin, candy and dirt with a short finish. Light body and fine, prickly carbonation. A bit thin. Okish, kind of.

Bottle from Scopey drunk at the London Bimble. Dark brown lasting beige head. Just a little bit of spice. Bit thin. Bit dirty. Ok ish
