Tonight's beer:
Opens heavy on the sweet: pumpkins and toast, caramel and molasses and maple. Truckloads of baking spice through the middle—cardamom and nutmeg backed by cloves and cinnamon. Slides gradually toward dry around the finish, impelled by gentle earthy-grassy-peaty bitterness. Lingering hints of vanilla.
Thicker than medium-bodied, a but heavy; pretty decent carbonation. Bready chewiness evolves to coating syrupy stickiness. Eventually tends toward drying and surprisingly refreshing. Very little alcohol presence.
It's either a bit late or way early to be drinking this, but I'm not sure how much I care about that. This is a delicious beer, kinda dominated by the pumpkins and spice but complex beyond that, nicely intense, superbly well-integrated and amazingly drinkable. Graceful and supple and smooth.
