Dude, this came out great! I made just a couple mods:
1) Mine was a BIAB.
2) I didn't adjust the water profile (I used Deer Park Spring Water.)
3) I scaled it down to a batch size of 4.5 gallons.

I am not a "gimmick" beer fan, but this came out awesome. Smooth, full mouth feel. Great aroma of spices and pumpkins, a slightly spicy taste with very present hops character that leaves a perfectly (good) bitter after taste. All-in-all, a great seasonal ale, perfectly adjusted, without being over the top. Highly recommend!
