What Our Editors Thought
“Dark red, almost brown, and clear. Rich pumpkin-pie nose, caramelized. Clove notes are pretty assertive as it warms. Moderately sweet beer on the palate, finding an equal balancing bitterness. Lively, with a lingering bitterness. A nice beer that’s really heavy on the clove.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Coffee, cream, pumpkin spice greet the senses. Chocolate malt and roast come out to intermingle delightfully with the spices. Clove, nutmeg, vanilla, a whisper of cinnamon also make an appearance as it warms.”
What the Brewers Say
“Malt-forward dark brown ale with roasted butternut squash and garam masala.”
