Clear dark brown beer, big pale cream coloured head. Smooth palate with a little fine carbonation. Mild malt cream with a littlr tangy apricot in good balance. The spices are not subtle and neither are they overdone,. They give the beer a slight pumpkin beer vibe. Finishes semi dry. Fresh and interesting.
