12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a clear bronze color with a small khaki head and decent retention. No lacing. Caramel malt aroma. The taste follows the nose with caramel malt flavor dominant and not much else. Good flavor, even though it's one dimensional. Medium-light body. Slick texture. Very low carbonation. Almost flat. Not bitter. Tastes more like a flat Vienna lager. I like it, but it could be a lot better.

Pint can pours with a mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up winter seasonal spices as well as dark fruity plum, cherry and a bit of raisin notes. The taste comes across with modest complexity where there's sweet dark fruity esters mingling with winter like spices. I enjoy the smooth flavour integration as it's well blending with no annoying flavour brightness. Overall, I'm digging this.

Poured up on tap at tipsy where it exhibits a nice deep mahogany colored body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy dates and some plums as well a sense of malts and spicy whiskey barrel notes. The taste delivers smooth sweet maltiness and toffee to caramel sweetness flowing into some sweet dark fruity esters such as spicy dates and plums. To midway the booze and spicy whiskey barrel notes bubble to the surface to create a deeper and slightly richer sipping experience. Solid offering. I dig it.

Nice dark fruit character, pretty tart and definitely taste the malt.

Fairly earthy pumpkin flavor, not much spice to it.

Taste more beer than mead or wine

Super low carbonation. Light, fairly tart, easy drinking. Don’t really get the Dum Dum aspect.
