Hoping the sweetness from the Marris Otter and crystal mixed with the biscuit of the Vienna will create a sweet and pie crusty sort of flavor. We'll see.

Are you adding any spices?

Definitely hope you added spices. Won't be getting a whole lot of flavor from the pumpkin no matter how you add it.. just mouthfeel.

LOL oh yeah.... 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice @ 1 minute

if you want the pie crust taste try adding some victory malt. It will add a little bit of that cracker aspect to it that you're looking for. Looks great!
