What Our Editors Thought
“Chai-like fruity-spice notes jump out and even hint at cherry, like pumpkin-pie custard that got too much anise. Some interesting and fruitier dark caramel notes, like raw Brazilian sugar. Sweetish and medium-bodied, bringing a lot of spice character with a pleasant bitterness. Heavy on the spice.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Cinnamon and vanilla in the aroma. Malt and some reserved spice fight for dominance over the sweetness. Some alcohol warmth. As it warms more, ginger and cardamom notes.”
What the Brewers Say
“Unabashed liquid love for pumpkin bars.”
