Tonight's beer: Lancaster Baked
Caramel and brown sugar and pumpkins explode at the start, with sheets of baking spice unfurling: cloves and cinnamon and allspice, with possibilities of ginger and nutmeg. Bread sits in the background, content to play a structural role, and earthy-grassy bitterness shoulders its way to the surface briefly around the finish. Dries out a little, eventually.
Thick and dense, chewy and sticky. Carbonation adequate if maybe a little light. Pretty smooth, with a just a prickle that could be bubbles or booze. Not cloying, but never really drying or cleansing, either.
It's plainly a dessert beer: The label explicitly says it's supposed to taste like pumpkin pie, and it does. pretty much dominated by the pumpkin-pie-ness, but holds together pretty well; drinkable, if it's a kind of beer you like (it is for me).
