It could have been the start of a gruesome horror story. Instead, it's just what the pumpkins has to endure to brew our version of a pumpkin ale.
Spiced with the classics: cinnamon, fresh grinded nutmeg, all spice, a hint of fresh ginger and topped of with real vanilla. And to finish it off: lagered on medium toast oak chips soaked in our own BourbRum blend.
Not as sweet as most pumpkin ales, but the warmth of the spices goes well with the dry finish, making it a real spiced ale, enjoyable while watching your favorite horror movie

This is something else... How to rate this? Heavily spiced... way too much imho. Not balanced and too much going on. Where's the BA? ...not my cup of beer. No experience with pumpkin ales... will not finish this. Maybe my wife likes it? 😁

Clear red amber beer, small creamy beige head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of gingerbread, spicy, cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel, sweet. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, lots of ginger, spicy, lots of cinnamon, slightly sourish, pumpkin flesh, some chocolate. Good stuff! Aftertaste: bit yeasty, dry touch, very spicy, lots of nutmeg, bit sourish, bitter touch, more pumpkin, good!

Small beige head, fast gone over veiled orangey-brown beer. Cinnamon jumping out of the glass. Speculoos/X-mas spices utterly dominant. Bitterish-sweetish with a burned finish. The speculoos spices are still there, if somewhat milder than in the nose. The spices contribute to the bittereness, extra preserved orange, almost liqueurish. Feels better carbonated than it looks. Long-lasting flavours, even when the spiciness keeps diminishing - which is not bad. Not very well-bodied. Spices are kept in check, bringing a good Holiday's beer, but it might benefit from a bit more body, as well as some more carbonation - I fear the barrel aging has been responsible for the lack in both.
