Wyeast 1450 Denny’s Favorite 50
This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any beer style, and is a mainstay of one of our local homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produces a big mouthfeel and accentuates the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuated.

you have an english style brown ale in color the smell is incredible, you have the ginger on top then the vanilla and the cinnamon at the end. the vanilla would suggest you something sweet and maybe not attenuated but in your mouth you'll have a fantastic surprise, a spiced medium body and the pumpik that is jumping... a dry finish with a clean very nice bitterness again this is well balanced and enjoiable

Regarding the Pumpkin, did you roast it first? Add it to the boil? Time? Secondary?

you are right! I sliced the pumpkin and I roasted it in the oven until slightly caramelized on top (like 40-50 minutes), (when correctly roasted you can feel the sweet if you try it) than I diced it and I used an hop bag putting the pumpkin in the center of the mash. After the mash I removed the grains attached all around the hop bag and I used it again in the last 10 minutes of the boil.
