12oz bottle. Orange-tan body, slight haze. Foamy off-white head. Leans into the malt, which is sort of nice here. Luscious sweet golden malt tones, reminds me of a good India Pale Lager. Steady hop backbone, classic juicy NW citrus flavors. Balanced, enjoyable IPA.

Bottled. Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is bready malt, some slight sweetness, mild floral and grassy notes along with some doughlike notes as well. Flavour is rather similar, but also has some slight nutmeg like notes to it. Gets a bit more body as it warms up a bit from being fridgecold.

Flaska från SB. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad vätska med två fingrar högt skum. Dofter av citrus och karamellsötma. Juice-ig söt smak balanserad av kraftig humlebeska. Lite eldig munkänsla och medellång eftersmak.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 2/3/2014. Pours lightly hazy deep ruby brown color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of pumpkin, caramel, brown sugar, toast, biscuit, light chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, light ginger, herbal, and toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of malt, spice, and pumpkin notes; with solid strength. Taste of pumpkin, caramel, brown sugar, toast, biscuit, light chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, light clove, light ginger, herbal, and toasted earthiness. No bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pumpkin, caramel, brown sugar, toast, biscuit, light chocolate, nutmeg, herbal, and toasted earthiness on the finish for good bit. Nice balance, complexity, and robustness of pumpkin, malt, and light-moderate spice flavors; with no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a moderately creamy and smooth mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice pumpkin ale. All around good robustness and balance of malt, pumpkin, and spice flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Aroma: citrus, især appelsin. Gylden, uklar. Meget behagelig, blød bitterhed, lidt kraftigere i lang god eftersmag. God fyldighed, blød carb. God balance, ret harmonisk.

Bottle: Hazy brown with red highlights...short, off-white head. Maple syrup and nut aroma. Sweet, smooth nutty flavor with maple hints. Rich, sweet. Not overtly maple, but a good, solid brown ale.... Tasty.

Bottle split at Christine and Daves thanks to DLJ, 26/11/13. Dark mahogony brown with a moderate tan covering that clears to a pond. Nose is brown sugars, earthy cocoa, honey roast nuts, milk chocolate. Taste comprises earthy cocoa, light metallic, dark toffee fudge, brown sugar, rather on the thin side and a step down from the aroma. Medium body, moderate carbonation, a little watery, dry light roast tones in the finish. So so porter lacking any real depth of flavour.

12oz bottle pours with an amber body that has copper hues and supports a white head. The aroma offers up malts as well as roasted malts mixing with molasses, malt sweetened pumpkin and faint sweet red apples. The taste is similar and delivers sweet malts, some roasted maltiness, mild pumpkin and then pumpkin pie spices. Overall this is pretty nice and the pumpkin notes that surface are tasting good.
