Pours a slightly coppery/amber gold with small white head. Aroma clearly of cinnamon spice (and nutmeg as well) with sweet malts also in the mix. Flavor was in my opinion a decent balance of malt and spice. The spice was perhaps just on the side of too much but dried the finish out nicely. Tasted much like a pumpkin ale without the pumpkin.

Jan 5, 2010 Tap at FW G Man. Clear reddish orange pour with a frothy head. Large amount of lacing on the edges. Light aroma. Some dark spices and fruit are present but not a whole lot. Light body with a gentle touch of malts. Some watered down effect, sad to see in a warmer. Chalky taste but not the mouthfeel. Burps taste like plastic.

Dec 31, 2009 Found this one bottled at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Clear, ruby red pour with a wispy, white head, and a mild, spicy, slightly fruity nose. Flavors of pumpkin pie, especially nutmeg, dominate the flavor. Nice, strong finish, but not too alcoholic. A very nice beer.

Dec 31, 2009 The aroma was strong - sweetness and spices. The head was off-white and the liquid was dark amber. There was a spiciness to the taste - the taste of nutmeg, along with sweetness. However, the finish seemed bitter and soapy, but at least that disappeared quickly

Dec 30, 2009 On tap from the Gingerman Fort Worth. Deep brown pour with a tan head. Aroma is sugar, decorative soap, and candy. Taste is a little malty with some sweet spice, but it tastes overwhelmingly like those Necco wafer candies. Dry, heartburn finish.

Dec 28, 2009 Not a bad winter ale for sure. Amber body with tan head. Flavor and aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, perhaps some clove, and apples.

Dec 25, 2009 Pours translucent amber color with a small tan head. Aroma is very much like carrot cake or pumpkin bread, a spiced vegetable mix. Similar flavor, the spices are more noticeable, especially the cinnamon. A little light bodied, not bad but I couldn’t see myself drinking more than 1 of these at a time.
