Came out superb! My only complaint was it took a few weeks to clear. Beautiful color as predicted with a wonderfully spicy flavor and a pleasant alcohol warming finish. I kegged and force carbonated this batch, but likely this would do well bottle conditioned and aged. Will definitely make this one again. Makes a great yeast starter for my Imperial Pumpkin Ale.
