The trub smells like cinnamon though. The wife mention it taste like a mulled version - hence the name. We'll see after it bottle conditions. Has some Saf-04 banana esters from higher temps.

9/14/2015 3:29 AM over 9 years ago	+32	Tasting Note			2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	It has finished better than before bottleing. It still has banana esters from the Saf-04 but not as strong. Has the expected spices for a pumpkin ale. It could use some more pumpkin flavor but matches the style.
