Feb 5, 2009 Updated: Oct 31, 2009Draft pint at Taco Mac’s, Kennesaw. Orange-amber with a small lasting head. Aroma is light pecan, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Flavor is spicy toasted nut, wood, earthy vegetables, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Light-medium body is smooth, watery and spicy-dry. Decent, but a bit too thin for the amount of spice.

Feb 4, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours an amber color with a white head. Aroma is spices, nutmeg, touch of cinnamon, and maybe a tinge of clove and a dash of honey. Flavor is a lot like a Fall pumpkin beer, however the spice mix is enough to warrant calling this a early winter beer.

Feb 1, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours an amber color with a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Very slight haze. Spices are dominant in the aroma, mainly your nutmegish pumpkin spices. Seems like there is actual pumpkin, even though the commercial description doesn’t say so. Taste is spice... lighter than the aroma... and some vegetal hops. Medium bodied.

Jan 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber color with a large, frothy white head. Aromas of nutmeg, spruce, pumpkin, and a hint of cinnamon. Smooth initial taste with a flat carbonation, leaving creamy texture in the mouth. Tastes of pumpkin and nutmeg dominate the buds although the aftertaste has a more of a Christmas taste. Not horrible, not great and definitely interesting.
