I like this one, more of an amber I would say than a brown, as the color and malt bill indicate to me. I like the spice profile here, and I think it fits in well with the season when you need a break from the pumpkin beers. the pours a dark copper color with an inch of slowly dying off white head. I smell cinnamon for sure, and maybe a touch of toasted bread. the flavor has quite a bit of sweetness on the back end, but is also hopped rather aggressively compared to other spice beers ive encountered. the pungent bitterness offsets some of the vanilla sweetness and red malt caramel notes from the grain and spice. very brightly carbonated and oddly dry in the finish, I like the feel of this quite a bit. definitely an underrated brew on here, I think is fills a nice niche in the fall beer spectrum.
