Pours light gold into a shaker. White head recedes to skim surface. Nutmeg and cinnamon aromas. Soft with sweet pumpkin, allspice and nutmeg. Slightly sour finish.

Draft at Hill Farmstead. Cloudy yellow, massive off white head. Aroma of rising bread. Taste has decent sourness, but a bit plain. Medium body. Not bad.

Cask at GBBF 2010. A hazy golden beer with an orangey head. The aroma has lovely notes of hops - like freshly harvested Magnum lending it notes of spices and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with a high level of alfa acids and hence strong notes of the hops. I believe I’d like it better kegged than cask - lack a sparkle.

Sampled from the tap at NotB. Poured a cloudy dark amber gold with a light brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was sweet with candied sugar, sweet grains and some dark fruit as well as a bit of a bourbon backing. Flavor had some molasses, but was mainly sweet grains, caramel and candied sugar with some bourbon in the finish.
