22oz bottle, thanks MrChopin! Poured a red/amber color with a off-white, wispy head. Aroma is sweet malts, with penty of bourbon notes, some chocolate notes, and a touch of dried fruits. Alcohol is pretty well masked in this particular one.

Draft at the source. Brown color, light tan head. Aroma of coffee grounds and subtle spice. Spice is also subtle enough in the taste, mostly cinnamon and nutmeg. This has the two chatacteristics of a good pumpkin beer, imho - dark mslts and subtlety.

Draft at the source. This one is pretty much on style, similar to the altbier I’d have in Germany. Body is a bit light.
