On tap at the beer temple. Pours dark brown with little head. Aroma is spicy pumpkin, malty, sweet. Big body. Flavour is quite complex and hard to pin down exactly. Pumpkin and vegetable flavours, sour but not too much, spices. Get the BA, don't really get the rum. Sweetness and sourness balance each other nicely. All in all a lovely beer.

The taste is big, rough, acidic, rough vinegar, earthy, pumpkin, damp leaves, tangy, spiced, barnyard, oak, booze and leather with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting stuff, but too. Rough and acidic for me.

Keg at IMBC 2018, session 4. Pours unclear amber-brown with a foamy, yellowish head. Heart, plenty of gourd and pumpkin, lemon, tangy orange, moderate acidity, faint herbs. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Strong finish, some vague autumnal spicing in the background, maybe cinnamon, more citric bite. Fun stuff in a perverse way.

Tap at BeerTemple, 17th May 18. Pours copper colour. Aroma is balsamic vinegar, tart fruit. Taste is an assault on the senses, super tart and lingering to supreme, balsamic, tart fruit, this is fantastic, so intense.
