3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a cola brown color with a root beer colored head. In Alpine fashion, the head doesn’t stick around long. Nutty, woody, and coffee aromas. Mouthfeel is full and wet with a bit of a carbonation burn at the finish. Raw pumpkin, smoke, and some plastic flavors. Not my favorite. I’m 0-2 with pumpkin ales the Fall.

Draft… Pours nearly black with a mid-sized, tight, beige head that slowly subsides and leaves weeping lacework. The aroma is a mixture of tree nuts, deeply roasted grist, gobs of pumpkin meat and a touch of winter spice. Medium to full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and laid-back carbonation. The flavor is fairly bland, but roasty and bitter with loads of grainy roasted barley. Finishes moderately bitter and burnt, but falls flat in the end. Bottle courtesy of richiesd!

Pours dark and black with a small tan head. Nose is pumpkins, yams, cinnamon, nutmeg. Date I say it smells like pumpkin pie in a bottle. Taste is sweet and well balanced with a good bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with a heavy body and a long finish.

Bottle generously shared by hamilton23. Cheers, Steve! Pours an amber orange with a white head. Nose is pumpkin, gourd, and mild pumpkin pie flavors with some light vanilla and cinnamon. Flavor follows: pumpkin, some earthiness, pumpkin pie spices, and cinnamon. Mild pumpkin that does not overwhelm the senses or the palate. Light to medium in body and the Middle Way of pumpkin beers.

Thanks to Moll for this one. Moll. Pretty spicy with some roast in the background. Pumpkin as well. Flavor is more toward the spice end. Over spiced, all in all.
