Brown appearance like the base beer with some lighter fall colors (yellow, orange) thrown in there. Off white, almost beige head 1/3". Aroma was yammy, brett like. Relatively clean.
Much better than the base version, this one has a small tinge of oak funk, earthen brett like notes. Of course there is still all the Thanksgiving base flavors from the yams and spice rack. A little viscous mouthfeel. Spices abundant. Carbonation keeps it lively and the fermentation, it is still viscous but doesn't sit as heavy of a mouthfeel.
Its a unique and interesting beer, but as for as my Tgiving beer, I'd prefer a headless heron from CW.

Since nobody has rated this in 2 years, I might as well.
Look: Dark amber, slightly cloudy without much head at all, nice lacing though.
Smell: Bright fruit and dark spices. It smells like a Bruery sour with an interesting "holidayness" to it.
Taste: This is where it gets interesting. Bright orange zest, light oaky funk, the spices shine through a bit giving it a very unique taste. I've never quite had something like this before.
Feel: At 10% you would expect some viscosity, and while it's not as thick as traditional Autumn Maple, it still has a bit of mouthfeel. Even though it has a slight viscosity, the sour kinda washes it out making it a bit more refreshing than normal.
Overall: This is a unique beer to say the least. I really enjoy regular Autumn Maple, so my rating may be a bit higher than others. It tastes like a lemon pie and a pumpkin pie had a delicious baby, that's the only way I can think of describing it.
To be fair, it gets you drunk quickly since it doesn't taste like it's 10%.

The brett has really come to the forefront on this one. Very much like regular Autumn Maple, but with a unique brett twist. Spicy, fruity and funky. I kinda like it.

S - Tart, spices, oaky, maple sweetness.
T - Tart oakiness, then autumn spices and the some subtle maple sweetness.
D - Lighter body and lower carbonation.
O - Fall spices with a tart oaky presence. Great for Thanksgiving 2012.
