22oz bottle pours a clear amber with some white head. Nose has root veg, malt, spice, candy. Flavor starts the same, caramel, malt, spice, but then there's a HUGE whiskey kick. Boozy finish.

22oz bottle at the early December Ratebeer DC Tasting. Poured a relatively dark amber copper color with a very small head. Aroma was light yam/pumpkin/gourd. Light bretty funk, with a little barrel. Flavor was light sweetness, but it wasn't a disaster. Perhaps a little more age out of the fridge could have produced some more funky notes.

From a bomber at the December 2018 RB gathering. Pour a hazy amber with an off white head. Aromas are pumpkin pie spice. Flavors are moderately sweet vanilla.

Everything you would expect from a yam beer by Bad Wolf. Too sweet with random citrus. Sour and odd on aftertaste.
