Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, but relatively thin rich tan and light brown head, that only shows about a single centimetre. Aroma of super strong malt, chocolate, caramel, figs and a ton of spice notes with a lot of squash and rich grainy scents, but the spices are by far the strongest with allspice, canella, star anise, nutmeg and cloves more than anything - incredibly pungent in the nose, in a great way. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong squash flavour at first with tons of spice notes that lead with the clove and star anise flavours with a lot of canella, coriander seed and allspice as well, showing some very smooth and pungent sweetness from caramel, a bunch of squash and full-bodied malt flavours with a rich lactose and milk/creamy based finale. Aftertaste shows a lot of spice of course, but balanced out greatly by the spice and sweetness from the caramel and the chocolate - very nice and incredibly complex. Overall, a pretty nice beer throughout with a ton of spice notes that show well and lead to a great complexity that leads with the spices, but also shows the grain, sweetness and finishes with a smooth rich punch. Great to sample, and if you like spiced beers, this one is worth searching after, because it's sheer spice complexity makes it money well spent. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Joe Canal's Discount Liqour in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 21-October-2018 for US$2,49 sampled in my hotel room here in Newport News, Virginia on 17-November-2018.
