Pours an amber color with an offwhite head, fades quick enough and leaves no lacing on the glass.
Smell is quite spiced with a malt sweetness on the nose, touches of vanilla and tons of pumpkin spice, quite heavy handed.
Taste is similar to the nose, strong spicing throughout and a bit hard to handle since it's overwhelming, the sweet malt backing does not help with this and without any hops to balance things it's very difficult to keep drinking, carbonation levels are good with a decent body.
I know winter ales are typically spiced but sometimes the kitchen sink doesn't need to go in as well.
