For starters, I really like the label for this brew. It's not everyday you get to pour an ale from a bottle that has a picture of the Headless Horseman riding a red eyed black steed and holding an evil Jack-O-Lantern in his hand. Definitely sets a spooky Sleepy Hallow mood. Pours a cloudy burnt orange with two fingers worth of long lasting light peach colored head. Leaves a bit of lacing on the glass. The aroma has hints of cinnamon, squash, and nutmeg.
The flavor has strong cinnamon note with hints of cloves, nutmeg, and all spice. Medium carbonation creates a creamy mouth feel to this mildly sweet ale. The pumpkin notes show up during the finish of this ale, and has a unique fleshy just carved flavor, followed by traditional notes of nutmeg.
Pretty good. The big cinnamon flavor is the star of this brew, with the pumpkin being the encore. The sweetness starts out mild, but does intensify towards the end of enjoyment. Overall, Ichabod is defiantly nice for a round or two. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring a few bottles with you the next time you’re crossing a wood covered bridge at night.
Cheers!!!
