341mL bottle, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg, rather than pumpkin. Flavour is the same, with some pumpkin pie. Boring / decent.

Bottle: Poured a hazy medium copper color ale with a medium size foamy head with average retention and some light lacing. Aroma of strong scotch notes with some alcohol fusel and some light caramelized sugar. Taste is a mix between some grainy malt notes with some dominant scotch notes and some fusel alcohol notes. Body is about average for style with average carbonation and some apparent alcohol. I was really fond of the malt bill use in that beer and the scotch and fusel alcohol notes were somewhat too dominant for my taste.
