Pours brown with a small head.
Nose shows sweet pumpkin and some cinnamon or nutmeg and cloves. Big underlying sweet notes.
The spices are much more prominent as flavours, lots of cinnamon. More sweet malt followed by a plain bitterness in the finish. Pretty good stuff.
Needs more carbonation though.

Clearish dark amber colour with a small, offwhite head. Awful head retention.

A little fruity. No malt. Slightly sweet. A touch of funk. Okay but it doesn't seem right.

Lightly spiced with cinnamon. Some lightly tart fruit. Earthy funk that is very mild. Certainly a British yeast here but maybe also a touch of Brett. Lacking crisp clarity with the flavours all being a little muddled.

Medium body with moderately-high carbonation. Okay.

Not all that exciting as the flavours aren't well integrated. Like a lot of Moon Dog stuff - it's a neat concept but the execution has failed.
