Another Fall seasonal beer in Spring. I got this beer from the same guy I got the Three Floyds from.The cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg aroma's come through clear enough, but there is also a dust or dirt smell. The color is on the orange side of amber, and there is some pieces of sediment floating in the glass. The foam is very thick with good retention and large white bubbles.
The taste and the aroma match pretty closely. There is a nice spice flavor with some malt sweetness that make the beer reminiscent of pumpkin pie. Unfortunately the dirt smell is present in the taste with a dirt taste, this might just be the spices flavors being confused. The mouthfeel is medium to thin. The finish is slightly bitter, the only sign of hops in the beer.
I'm not really a fan of this dirt taste, it might be from ground spices, or from drinking an Fall seasonal in March. It's on the good side of pumpkin spice beers, but still not one of my favorites styles.
