Oct 4, 2008 Amber colour with a slight haze. Big nose of pumpkin, nutmeg and a little clove. Sweet palate, very spicy. Quite dessert-like even for a pumpkin beer with lovely sugars, pumpkin accents and smooth but assertive spicing. Nicely rounded example.

Nov 10, 2003 2003 bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is
murky medium amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty
(cookie, caramel), with notes of allspice, clove, nutmeg, and pumpkin.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet,
lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively
carbonation. A juicy, malty, very well-balanced nutmeggy brew with a
nice mouthfeel. One of the better pumpkin beers I've had.

Nov 30, 2005 Poured slightly hazy copper colored, with aroma of malt and pumpkin spice. The flavor had a good pumpkin and spice element, backed up by caramel malts. Somewhat watery finish, but smooth.
