Brewed with pumpkin and cozy warming spices, this malt-forward Scotch Ale has a deep caramel toastiness.

From a 16oz can. Canned on September 04, 2025.
This is a dark pouring beer into my glass. It is a very dark amber color, almost black, with amber shining through when I hold it to the light. There's a 2 finger tan head to this beer that looks frothy. The head retention is pretty good, and there's some damn good sticky lacing on the glass.
Aroma hits me while pouring this beer - cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Up close these aromas are even stronger. That's really all I am getting off the aroma of this beer. Since those aromas are so strong, I am not getting any Scotch Ale notes on my nose. Seems one dimensional in a way.
Taste - Ok, while the aroma was one dimensional, the taste isn't. I get the Scotch Ale notes up front with caramel and a hint of a leather flavor. The middle is where the pumpkin spices come into play. Cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves work together, but aren't as overpowering as the nose let on. The finish has a bit of the previous mentioned elements plus a nice hint of bitterness.
The body is maybe slightly light for the ABV. I was hoping for a touch thicker.
I can easily see how this combination could go totally wrong. The end result of this beer actually works and works well. I was interested when I found out about this beer and I am glad I bought it.
