Poured from a can into a nonic pint
Pours a mostly clear copper color with two fingers of off white to very light tan head. Head settles rather rapidly leaving a little lace.
Aroma is caramel/toffee malt and a slight green apple aroma.
Taste is similar to the aroma, light caramel to toffee malts, kind of minerally bordering on metallic. Light green apple twang
Mouth feel is medium body with medium light carbonation, fairly smooth easy drinking, finishing with a light malt sweetness
Overall it is rather bland and the green apple notes come as an off flavor. It's not terrible but I'd reach for something else in the future.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark copper/auburn color with a slight transparency about it and a half a finger's worth of white foamy head which didn't seem to hang around very long before it dissipated then left some some super light messy lace
Aroma: some caramel/toffee tones with a lighter note of diacetyl and some earthy notes
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fairly sweet sort of quality; finishes malty with a brisk dryness to it
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness to it; the carb level seemed fine and no hop bitterness assertiveness just some acceptable dryness
Overall: luckily, the diacetyl in the aroma wasn't overbearing for me as I was able to finish this beer; however, I do believe there would be other amber/red ales I would reach for first before this one again.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: pale amber color with a moderate transparency seemingly closer to the sides of the glass; two finger white foamy head dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: pumpkin flesh, subtle cinnamon further in the back, lovely baked/semi-pie crust-like malts and a subtle touch of vanilla
Flavor: meshes the aromas together to a semi-sweet yet pie-crust like sort of way; finishes like pumpkin sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue but also some cinnamon nudging the edges with a brisk harshness - still, it's brewed quite well
Overall: this is a lovely pumpkin ale I know I could come back to every Autumn.

Can to mug.
Appearance: pale amber color with a slight transparency about it and two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: lemon to orange to cinnamon tones up front with a baked sort of biscuity malt tone backing that up; subtle earthy hops
Flavor: seems to do a decent job of mixing the prior noted aromas to a semi-sweet to citrusy and winter spicy sort of blend; finishes with the cinnamon and orange tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; seems to roll across the tongue fairly nice (the cinnamon doesn't distract here - good job at the brewer!) - so some smoothness
Overall: I believe this is a Winter ale (Winter Warmer) I could get behind and would go well with it's respected Winter food.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: murky orange to semi-muddy brown color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: nice dose of citrusy hops, and grapefruity/lemony hop notes, subtle pine underneath and a clean malt base
Flavor: combines the prior mentioned aromas to a nice blend of bittersweet to zesty qualities; finishes citrusy, grapefruity and piney
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability to it; good smoothness rolling along the tongue
Overall: I say a nicely done NEIPA I'd be willing to come back to.

Can from the brewery. Opaque, inky black, tons of sparkle, crackling, creamy brown head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong cocoa, marshmallow, faint graham cracker. Taste is strong, sugary marshmallow, dominant over late milder chocolate and hint of cherry. Graham only in the finish. Smooth, thick, creamy texture, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Aroma is strong and balanced. Taste is too marshmallow and too sweet. Letting this sit seems to help but maybe should have rested even more.

16 oz can traded by tfontana, thank you Tom. Aroma is mild vanilla and strong marshmallow. Flavor shows mild roasted malt with the vanilla and bold marshmallow. The one negative as it does have some sugar in the finish. If they let that ferment out a little bit more, this might be special.

Undated can from tfontana, drunk 6/13/25. Thanks, Tom!
Dark. Can't determine clarity. Big, creamy, tan head. Well-retained.
Smells sweet, as expected. But pretty homogeneous. No single adjunct dominating, and a bit of light roast to help combat the sugar. Lots of creamy-sweet, vanilla-laced mallow, and no alcohol. A bit of raw sugar, but pretty minimal.
Quite sweet, though with some acidity coming in right away and the marshmallow character really emerging nicely on the finish. The marshmallow really shines and tastes authentic and great, for what it is. But yeah, this is still a bit more raw sugar than I'd want, even giving it credit for being a dessert stout. Light dark chocolate and mild roast do help combat the sweetness a bit, but it needs more attenuation and a bit more age. Still very rough, raw and sugary at points. Though not boozey, which is nice.
