Aromas are dark malt, pumpkin and maple. Flavors are similar to nose and moderately sweet with enough bitter and carbonation to balance. Add in a bit of toast. Not really my thing but if it's yours probably decent.

Pittsburgh Location. Black with a medium sized creamy beige head that lingered. Bitter, roasty and a touch smoky with notes of wood and coffee. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

AROMA: Mildly sweet with moderate scents of malt, bread, and caramel. It's a nice aroma that does its job of inviting you in.
APPEARANCE: Pours a clear medium-amber with a 3-finger, loose-froth, white, head that dissipates fairly slowly with excellent lacing. It looks very inviting in my clear glass!
TASTE: Mildly sweet with mild flavors of malt and caramel. The finish has a touch of sourness, which I find a little off-putting. I would much prefer bitterness to sourness. But I'm sure there are plenty of other imbibers who would appreciate the sour. At any rate, it's not very pronounced, so it's not a deal-breaker for me.
MOUTHFEEL: This is one of those odd beers for me. The "weight" of it tells me it's medium-bodied, but as it rolls over my tongue I get a very watery sensation that makes me want to say that it's thin-bodied. For now, I'll stick with saying that it's medium-bodied. Carbonation seems about average. The finish is mildly dry.
OVERALL: The appearance is outstanding and the aroma is nice. However, the mouthfeel and taste are somewhat lacking. For those reasons, I would probably not buy this again. But I'm also not unhappy that I bought a six-pack, as they go down pretty easy and, for the most part, don't offend. They just aren't very exciting, nor do I find anything "seasonal" about the flavors.

Like the 2012, this did not age well.
