Seasonal Creep
Moustache Brewing Co.

 

Pours a dark, translucent orange color with a finger of head that showed relatively good persistence... On the nose and palate, predictably pumpkin-like - with an emphasis on the spices - lots of suggestions of holiday spice, from nutmeg to clove - and with some tingle that isn't attributable to the carbonation... Medium-bodied and smooth, only a mild bitterness... Moderate vegetal qualities, but more toward the sweet end of the pumpkin ale spectrum... A good imperial (9.5% abv) pumpkin ale, but perhaps nothing special, i.e., I'd buy it again, but I wouldn't seek it out...

Poured from a 16oz can into a Teku glass.

Look is a hazy dark amber with zero head.

Aroma is classic pumpkin beer spices (nutmeg and cinnamon) with a touch of light sourness at the end.

Taste is a lot lighter on the spice than I expected. Maybe its the age they recommended me cellaring for. Lots of sweet sugary malt, and I might be tasting a dash of that sour. Perhaps from the pumpkin or the spices? I don't know.

I appreciate that this one isn't a spice bomb. It ranks high but in a category I am not as into.
