Style: Seasonal Pumpkin Ale...from Firkin
ABV: 5.8%
Sight: A nice crystal clear auburn-brown, with hues of red popping through in the right light. Light off-white bubbling is on the surface.
Aroma: Nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon radiate from the glass with the pumpkin overtones keeping the nose in check. malt holds well throughout the sniff, with a little alcohol near the end
Taste: I am probably wrong on this but I get a nice creaminess of toffee in the front of this smooth ale. Pumpkin comes through well next...not weak, but not overpowering either(just right). The seasonal spices are presented on the appropriate levels not too strong and not to weak. A very nice malt sweetness holds things together well.
Overall: All of the flavors are balanced nearly perfect, no on component dominants another. The mouthfeel is light to medium with a nice creaminess coating to the mouth. Nothing lingers in the aftertaste, This is a true "pumpkin" ale not a "pumpkin spice" ale...Once again Brewmaster Stephen Jones put out an excellent brew.
Score: 9.2/10
