The thing that really sets this one off from the others is the nutmeg. It gives that extra touch that takes it over the edge. Although with the high ABV...it sort of kills the flavor a little.

Aromas of pumpkin, cinnamon and allspice, very sugary nose. Medium bodied flavors of holiday spice and brown sugar and caramel malts. this works as a Christmas Beer or an Autumnal Beer.

12oz bottle from total wine in norfolk. pours a clear, light gold with a short white head a solid lacing. aroma is nice with sweet pumpkin and spicy cinnamon, nutmeg, and mild cloves with a touch of toasty malts. flavor is quite good as well with citrus and pumpkin notes up front with an odd hint of grain mustard backed by spice notes of cinnamon, clove, and and smooth nutmeg leaving a crisp, spiced finish. palate is medium bodied, nicely carbonated, and not overly sweet. overall, a well done pumpkin ale.

On tap at Stone 9/14. Dark amber in the glass with a light nose. Clove and nutmeg> Smooth and round in the mouth. Creamy and licorice. Not overpowering like I expected.

pours a clear dark orange with a medium size off-white head, and good lacing. smell is of malt, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices. taste is creamy, pumpkin, spice, some malt, a little sweet, and some cinnamon in the end.

Strong smell and taste of ginger and nutmeg with a little pumpkin. Aftertaste lingers forever, in a good way.

Amber color with a medium long-lasting white head. Has a beautiful sweet pumpkin and spice aroma. Taste is nice and creamy pumpkin pie with a warm alcohol feeling.

Ahh Autumn is here. This DH Punkin Ale combines a respectable flavor palate of cinnamon, nutmeg, faint brown suger, and oh yeah...pumpkin. With an utterly enticing aroma, granted this is the highest RB rated Pumkin I have tried, this brew beckons you to take a drink. The burnt orange color and previously mentioned flavor make the lack of body not seem so bad. Overall this is is one of the better Autumn Seasonals and best Pumpkin Ales around.
