Draft from Basil Ts Toms River. Poured a crisp clear orange/gold body sitting underneath a small foamy white head. Aroma was very nicely done with lots of spices up front, cinnamon..nutmeg..allspice, and to a lesser extent some pumpkin in the background but still prominent enough to be detected easily. The body on this one is much more lively then most of their usual offerings and has a good amount of carbonation inside a medium body that finihes crisp and clean. The flavor was the biggest let down of this beer and either it was over spiced or it was under pumpkined. The flavor is all spice and not much else. Still highly drinkable and with some slight tweeking this could be one of Dave’s best beers.

on tap-pours an offwhite head with gold color and effervescence. Aroma is mild cinnamon, nutmeg. Taste is mild cinnamon, nutmeg, spice, light malt. Faint pumpkin, hops, light body. OK effervescence.

Had at my regular bar...can’t beat the mug club deal. Pours out a deep brown color with a small head. Notes of typical pumpkin spice on the nose. Taste is very well balanced and rather smooth with nice notes of cinnamon, cloves and spice. Solid brew

Delicious. Not as heavy as DFH’s Punkin, but with all the good spices. The best of my sampler. To fill space, I will note that the beer rages through your veins as you drink it.
