When I made it last year as recommended on the Midwest kit, it came out just tasting like an ale. It didn't taste of the spices at all, nor did it taste like pumpkin. This year I am majorly increased the pumpkin (120oz), roasted about half of this, and added an extra 1/4tsp allspice, 1/4tsp nutmeg, and two split vanilla beans. I can't tell you how it is yet because it is still in secondary, but I am betting it is going to be a lot better.
I wouldn't worry about the irish moss. It's more about presentation than flavor. I added irish moss too see the effect it has, but I really don't give a rip about presentation. I like the haze in beer, honestly.
