The star of the bunch. I don’t know if this is brewed with actual sweet potatoes, but there’s something lurking there with the sweet caramel and brown sugar malts that tastes like a sweet potato (and I ate some sweet potato chips the next day to make sure that was what I was tasting). There’s also a good bit of spice making this taste a lot like a decent pumpkin ale. I had three or so of these during trivia, so I’d have to say I liked it. It could use a bit more malt to fill it out though.
