Shared with the boys at BBT 11/2021. Med-thin body, surprisingly so. Med-high carbonation. Lots of malt flavours, crackers, biscuits, slightly nutty, caramelly, also chocolate, light coffee. This is combined with moderate pumpkin spice mix, it works together really well. Med-high sweetness, medium bitterness, med-light warmth. Rich, complex, intense, well balanced. Very good.

Shared with the boys at BBT 11/2021. Med-full body, med-high carbonation. Med-high sweetness, also med-high combined bitterness with spicy warmth. The ABV itself is relatively well hidden, seems like the warmth is rather spicy. Strong and complex spice character. Slightly over the top, bringing it to the sipping zone, not very easy to drink. A very tasty and good beer though.

12 oz can poured at home. A little surprised to see this one pour a clean and clear golden. Seemed hazy enough when I had one of these out of the can, but poured, the appearance plays tricks. Rocky foam head that lasts. Some sweet melon like character. Doughy grain. Grassy hop linger. Mixed citrus noted. Pretty typical amount of bitter for an imperial, but less the case for a hazy. A bit of an unusual brew for me, but pretty good as an overall.
