Bottled in October 1998. 12 oz bottle generously given to me by beastiefan2k. Pour is a murky brown with copper, with a smallish light tan head. Very unfiltered looking. Aroma is brown sugar, some fruit sweetness and caramel malt. Taste is sweet malt, some apple, honey, and grassiness. The fruit sweetness is the main story. Palate is unfiltered, medium bodied, lingering cloying sweet in the finish. This held up well. Interesting, thanks Eugene.

Year old bottle: Faint aroma of cinnamon and clove. Clear copper, floaties, no head. Clove initially, pleasantly sweet. Cinnamon finish. Well balanced and one of the best proportions of spices I’ve had in a beer. Cinnamon is most prominent. I didn’t detect pumpkin, which is perfectly fine by me. Holds up surprisingly well after a year.

Cloudy orange color; small head. The aroma is very light, and there are some vegetables. The flavor too, along with dry toffee, has some vegetables; ordinary bitterness. There is not much quality here.

A tan head sits briefly over the body of this opaque black brew. Sweet roast malt aroma with nutty coffee and cocoa notes. The flavor is sweet and nutty at the start with some bitterness coming in at the end. A bit thin. Could use a creamier mouth feel.
