A: Dark amber with a sudsy, persistent head.

S: Hints of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice; some phenols and a(n acceptable) hint of vegetables, carrots specifically.

T: Belgian candi sugar sweetness upfront that washes away into a flavor-neutral middle and finish. Bitter aftertaste from some Noble hops; light spiciness. Very light phenols (band-aid; smoke) in the middle.

M: Light and spritzy. Length is short, and there's not much development of flavor over the course of the pint.

D: Easy; quaffable.

The best quality is the spiciness imparted by the yeast; the weakest is the abrupt disappearance of flavors and lingering, bitter aftertaste.

Overall, this is a drinkable, if unmemorable, hybrid between a Belgian pale ale and a darker, abbey beer. This tries to stake out some ground for a "Belgian amber" ale, but it doesn't have the character or power of flavor to really be convincing. It's a nice experiment, but it needs more tinkering.
