Tonight's beer:
Opens with a wall of baking spice—cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon—buttressed with deep sweetness: caramel and maple and molasses; thick slabs of pumpkin in the structure. Flecks of earthy-peaty bitterness in the distance. Toward the end, acts as though it wants to dry out some, but it never does.
Thick, chewy, kinda dense, well-carbonated. Sheets of lingering syrupy-stickiness. Gradually almost cleansing, eventually something like drying and edging toward refreshing. No real alcohol heat or prickle.
One of my favorite pumpkin beers, all spice and sweet and pumpkins; superbly integrated, intense and complex; wonderfully drinkable. Quite strong, but supple and graceful; very subdued alcohol presence. Completely delicious, if the style appeals.
