look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3

Pours a dark straw/caramel. A fine, pleasing 1/4" off-white head sticks around for a while. It looks nice. Smell is nothing crazy, small amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, slight pumpkin. Taste is pleasant but nothing special, subdued nutmeg, maybe some cinnamon. Not very bold, I get a light malty backbone like straw, not a ton of pumpkin. Halfway through the beer I find the lack of flavors and a slight syrupy sweetness off-putting. Goes down smooth, some fine, vigorous carbonation off the back of the mouth. Overall this beer isn't for me, the flavors balance OK but it simply isn't assertive enough for me. Comes across as weak, my attention is drawn to the sweetness and strawy-maltiness. I won't buy this again.
