Pint at the brewery - hazy amber with a fluffy head - nose as coffee, vanilla, light spiciness, earthy/leafy notes - creamy texture - medium sweet - approach is all cream and coffee - light tartness through the middle, then some earthy, toasty pumpkin (or at least the illusion of it) - sweetness returns through the finish, along with some earthy, mushroomy malt that tastes decidedly british in character - I quite dig this.
