This festive beer celebrates one of the best times of year to be in the mountains: fall. We brewed this beer with over 200 pounds of Colorado grown pumpkins as well as a complex list of spices including cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. A burnt orange color and a hearty maltiness offers the perfect canvas for a well-balanced spice character that is very present in its aroma without overpowering the palate.

Aroma: Nutmeg up front, followed by pumpkin and a hint of caramel. Slight apple or pear ester to it. Cinnamon as it warms up.
Appearance: Orange to copper color (but it was dark in the restaurant!) Medium sized white head that persisted well. Small bubbles. Excellent clarity with no haze.
Flavor: Malty but not overly sweet, a bit of caramel in flavor. Strong nutmeg and allspice flavors really dominate this beer. Medium body, but the residual harsh astringent and chemical burn from the spices make this seem to end thin. Like sucking on a clove or allspice berry this has a tongue coating medicinal burning to it, even after done with the sip.
Overall: I like the aroma and initial taste, but that lingering harsh finish kills this for me. Simply too much spice that isn't in balance with the base beer.
