22oz bottle of the 2009 edition. Aroma of oak, pumpkin pie spice, alcohol and chocolate. Black with a very small tan head that dissipates fast. Sweet pumpkin pie up front, bitter chocolate next and a dry oak finish. Medium bodied (lighter than you would think), silky smooth mouth feel, low carbonation. Very complex and unique, a good late night sipper.

Super dark with an off white head that fades fast. Aroma is great. Wood, vanilla, pumpkin. Taste is smooth, rich, and creamy. Nice spice balance and very sweet and delicious. Not much vegetable, pumpkin character. Some wood and creamy chocolate and vanilla taste too. Great!

Sampled at the Ohio group tasting on DLD eve ’09. Many thanks to Brad for sharing. Black pour with a medium tan head. Cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla in the nose with a hint of beef jerky. Strong spice flavor with chocolate giving way to oaky vanilla and a coffee finish. Awesome brew, but I have to give a slight nod to the non-oaked version.

Bottle shared by Brad! Pours inky black with a decent sized tan colored head. Aroma is chocolate, ginger, clove, caramel, even a hint of cinnamon. Flavor is chocolate, clove, cinnamon, ginger, caramel, light oak. Palate is full bodied, mild carbonation, finished sweet and mighty tasty. Great example of barrel aging. I absolutely loved this, perhaps more than Pumpking. Awesome!

LAME RATING ALERT: Pretty much like the regular version but with a touch of oak. Very good.

Great stuff here. Take the already wonderful ICPP and oak age it. I felt the oak added a nice vanilla flavor to the spicy, pumpkiny, chocolaty goodness. Very nice original concept beer here.

Bottle thanks to Mar. Pours a deep, dark brown with tan head. Aroma of dark roast, dark fruit, spices, some vegetables. Flavor is much the same, dark roast, vegetables, faint cinnamon, sweet, pumpkin, and wood. Mouth feel is medium body, low medium carbonation.
