brownish color thin tan head w/ ok lacing. Aroma is spiced nutmeg & cinamon hints of pumkiny smell and a bit warm alcohol. Palate is nicely carbonated fairly well coated. Flavor has a light smoked flavor to it nice carmel malt hints of pumkin pie filling, nutmeg and cinamon. Pretty decent stuff.

Clear coppery brown. Thin head. Nice spicy aroma... nutmeg/pumpkin based and light scotch whisky flair and a slight citrus edge. Nice balanced spice/citrus/sweet body... some nutmeg/pumpkin, slight orange, and brown sugar. Good stuff!

Clear brown body, thin tan head. Varied but enjoyable flavor: brown sugar, mint, coriander, pine needles. The flavor has light brown sugar malt under orange peel, coriander, and nutmeg-like spice. The orange lends a refreshing fruitiness to the beer. Quite nice, the mouthfeel is a bit thin though.

Has a dark amber color, with a thin layer of brown head. Aroma is malty. Has a kind of roast, almost burnt flavor. Kind of a thin body, wittle little carbonation. Overall, it’s OK, but nothing special.

Trade via MullMan. (freebie). The beer pours to a dark amber body with a thin whitish head. The color looks real nice, but there isn’t much else there. The aroma smells like a pumpkin beer. Weird. I was expecting a spiced ale (for XMas). The beer’s flavor is malty with a fully rich and creamy mouthfeel but has this weirdness to it on the finish. Has some melanoids in it. Caramel and toasted malts. Lightly spicy. Gingerbread. I don’t mind the flavor. It’s just that it smells like one thing, is listed as another, and tastes like yet another. Pretty basic if you ask me.
