Clear gold pour. Pumpkin with allspice flavor and clove notes. Palate is spice and pumpkin. Gets me in the mood for Fall! Medium bodied and medium carbonation

Allspice and clove nose. Clear copper, thin head. Allspice, caramel, bread. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Spice beers usually work better in a base style that has more depth, but this came out just fine. Nice work!

Super crisp and clear copper and light bronze coloured body with a thick, two to three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of pure allspice, cloves, canella, nutmeg and vanilla, with some malts and grain noticeable, but the spice of course dominates. Medium-bodied; Strong rich spicy flavour from the allspice and canella primarily with a lot of sweetness noticeable on the edges and a dose of caramelised sugars, toffee and even coffee noticeable here. Aftertaste shows some light lactose and creaminess, with vanilla noticeable as well and some malts, but of course the spices dominate in a good way, especially for a lager! Overall, a very nice spice-based lager with tons of allspice, canella and especially nutmeg notes with a dry sweetness from lactose or cream that goes down easily, but has a great profile. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant Food in Alexandria (Potomac Yard) on 25-November-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-December-2020.
