Feb 1, 2010 Last tried from the bottle... but I’m going to rate it off the tap from the Trion.
I can’t tell you how important it is that you try this from the tap... I loved it when I had it at the Trion, went to my store and bought our last bottle a few months ago. I opened it last night, and... GOD! The spices were just overwhelming, and the finish almost choked me. Please try it from the tap next year, or maybe a really fresh bottle... the difference in this instance is NIGHT and DAY!

Jan 24, 2010 This was so close to liquid pumpkin pie it was freaky. Both the aroma and the flavor was Fall spices and pumpkin. Some nice hop notes. Alcohol was never noticed and I was quite surprised to see it was 9%. Usually this type of beer falls well short but not Pumking. It was a bullseye.

Jan 24, 2010 It’s copper colored and the head is small and creamy. The aroma has strong notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, brown Christmas cookies (Danish speciality) and sweet bread. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, pumpkin, a peppery bite (ginger perhaps), sweet bread and alcohol. This must be an either hate or love beer, but well crafted.

Jan 18, 2010 22oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy, light amber color with a small white head. Pumpkin and fresh bread aroma with various baking spices. Sweet cinnamon, pumpkin and whip cream in the initial flavor with a more complex, spicy taste in the finish. Aftertaste has the slightest hint of alcohol, but mostly sweet from start to finish. Creamy texture and average carbonation. Very well done.

Jan 14, 2010 I love pumpkin pie and I know love pumpkin beer. Recieved a couple of 22 oz. bottles as a gift and just finished off the second one. Drank them about a month apart. More impressed than I initially thought for a pumpkin beer. Pours a hazy copper with a light tan head. Aroma is of pumpkin pie with a small hint of alcohol. Was a full bodied brew. The taste is even better than it smells. Nice balance of rich caramel and creamy vanilla to go along with numerous spices. Gets a little more alcohol tasting towards the end, but this is just reminder that a beer high in alcohol can really be this smooth. Hands down a favorite of mine.

Jan 10, 2010 A: Pours a nice amber orange color with minimal bubbles and an average head.
S: Absolutely dynamite. A perfect 5 no doubt about it. It is a perfect match of Pumpkin and spice. The best pumpkin pie on earth could not rival this aroma.
T: Pumpkins and spice. Wow this one is so complex. Fresh roasted pumpkin and all the nice spices found in pie. Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Vanilla, and a hint of All Spice. Wonderful taste yet there has to be extracts used to achieve some of these flavors.
M: Nice and Smooth.

Jan 9, 2010 Bottle. Many thanks to Hogtownharry for this one. Very nice appearance, bright orange pour, with a bit of white head. Lots of pumpkin in the aroma, a hint of spice (gingerbread), something roasted about it too, pumpkin pie. Taste is very desert, pumpkin pie, not very sweet with definite alcohol presence. Mouthfeel is quite full a little too aggressive.
