Different from their earlier Punkn beer, as this one is quite stronger. Very spicy aroma, cinnamon, nutmeg. This has a very strong nutmeg and pumpkin flavor. Aggressive spices. Okay, not great.

Deep golden color...fluffy head. Aroma of pumpkin and nutmeg. Strong burst of pumpkin in the front, which quickly morphs into a heavy spice flavor...especially clove. Smooth mouthfeel throughout. Finish incorporates the strong spice character, as well as a noticeable tartness. Very complex beer that seems to hit harder than it claims, at 4.5% ABV...it must be a typo. Needs a little refining though, as it is a tad heavy on the spices.

Draught. Pours mahagony-orange with a medium off-white head and lined lacing. Pumpkin malt aroma, though not very strong, with nutmeg notes. Ppumpkin malt and cloves, nutmeg flavor with a slight hoppy finish. Medium bodied and fizzy, clean palate.

Draught. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), lightly hoppy (flowers), with notes of nutmeg/allspice and pumpkin. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Somewhat unpleasant kind of tartness, pretty flimsy and watery, and just not much enthusiasm evident in the aroma.
