Poured into a narrow glass: color is opaque copper, a little dense looking, head is off white to light tan with fine bubbles and presents about 1/2 inch thick.
Smell is cinnamon, nutmeg, light caramel malt.
Taste is similar with prominent cinnamon, nutmeg; malts present as caramel and a good amount of biscuit and bread like qualities and flavors.
Mouthfeel is crisp, moderate carbonation, then drying spice but not overly done.
Overall a spicy pumpkin ale that leans heavy on cinnamon.

P - Copper orange pour with a frothy two-finger head that dissipated slowly with moderate lacing.
S - Light nose of malt, caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
T - Marzen-like with spice added that seemed a bit allspice heavy with a bit of hops on the finish. In addition, there was a note of a metallic taste. No discernable pumpkin flavor.
F - Moderate body and carbonation with a crisp finish.
O - While this is a drinkable beer, the metallic note and seemingly unbalanced spice flavor reminded me that other better brews exist.

Poured moderately hard from a bottle, forming a ton of frothy off white head that slowly faded to a heavy ring of lacing. Dark orange color. Smell is slightly hoppy pumpkin, not bad. Taste is similar, with pumpkin primary, a bit of spices in the middle, and hoppiness at the end. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Okay pumpkin ale, but only because I know there's much better out there.

A: Dark Bengal-orange has a fizzy tan and short lived topping. Very low carbonation presence, with a weak speckled display of lacing on the vessel. Nice coloring though.
S: Strong spicing of cinnamon and nutmeg. Toasted warm grains and dried caramel along with ginger spicing. Really sweet and strongly spiced, pumpkin pie, with some holiday curacao oranges as well.
T: Syrupy sweet flavor and spice rack flair. Nutmeg and cinnamon sluree, ginger and spicy oranges. Heavily leans towards the spicing with some dry pumpkin pie crust fade at the finish.
M: Thick and syrupy body, low carbonation texture, spicy and malt syrup like.
O: A heavily spiced pumpkin beer that overshadows any natural pumpkin element and at times overbearing which will surely limit drinkability. Feels and taste like a malt extract beer. If you like you pumpkin beers heavily spiced and malt forward then this is for you.
