Black in color with no light penetration. There’s a fingernail of khaki around the rim and covering two-thirds of the top.Light lacing on the glass. There’s aroma is of pumpkin spice, nutmeg, and chocolate. I’m tasting chocolate, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and allspice. The mouth is dense and busy with spices.

Pours a dark cola brown and settles in the glass black with a minimal, sudsy light tan head. The nose features roasty malt, pumpkin, nutmeg, and a bit of resiny hops.
The taste follows the nose, with the slight bitterness a nice complement to the pumpkin, nutmeg, and roasty flavors. A medium, slightly creamy mouthfeel is a nice finish to a very good fall beer.

Pours an oily jet black, barely any head or lacing. Smell is pumpkin, spices, bitter hop, and toasted malt. Taste follows suit with the pumpkin flavor on top followed by some spices and finishing with a dank hop bitterness. Feel is velvety but also has a hop bite to it and carbonation was medium. Would try again
