This would be "Mashing" Pumpkin.

Copper-bronze with a white head that leaves some nice leg.

Huge spicy aroma, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg with a little caramelized vegetal starch.

Spicing comes through in the flavour as well... it's a little much for me. Caramel, sweet potato, light sweetness with a modest bitterness. Alcohol is fairly well-hidden under these layers of flavour.

Very light residual sweetness is perfect for the style. Modest carbonation.

Overall it's a well-crafted brew, even if it's not to my taste... looking forward to trying more of their brews!

Interesting take on a pumpkin beer. Nice copper colour with a thin head. Slightly fruity, but not sweet - somewhat spicy- but not sour. Banana, a bit of apricot, nice pumpkin scent. Almost a candy-like hint to it.

Slightly dry taste, nice spice and pumpkin taste. Maple syrup is also noticeable, as is the brown sugar. Not your typical pumpkin ale - definitely some more flavours in there: fruit, maple syrup, chocolate, sugar, light spice. Alcohol is noticeable.

Decent mouthfeel, but a bit boozy. Definitely an after-dinner beer.
