Yeah I think I paid $8 and split it with someone.. couldn't even finish my half.. well, I ALMOST did.

Sure. Looked great, smelled great.. but it was a drain pour. I couldn't stomach it.

I'm just getting ready to bottle this weekend, but my FG has been stuck for a few days, so I've essentially deemed it has done.. but man, it wreaks of pumpkin,clove,etc.
