Sep 20, 2009 Cinnamon and nutmeg on the aroma, Kinda smells like a pie baking. Faint pumpkin aroma but not much. Initial taste is heavy on the spice. leaves a feeling in your mouth like you just had a spoon full of cinnamon.

Sep 20, 2009 I don’t understand the average ratings for this beer; maybe I just haven’t had enough pumpkin ales, but this was absolutely delicious. Pours deep mahogany with small white head; nose is caramel, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar. Tastes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and heavily spiced pumpkin peel. Very nice.

Sep 19, 2009 Pours light copper with a 1 finger creamy, egshell head that has excellent retention and leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is pumpkin, nutmeg, lemon poppyseed bread, a hint of grainy malt and a little mineral on the back end, some ethanol as it warms. Flavor is caramel, sweet grain, too much nutmeg, a little pumpkin, sweet cinnamon, ethanol (especially as it warms), and some mineral notes to the finish. Palate is thin and slick with a medium carbonation. I am pretty disappoined in this stuff, it’s not terrible, but I think I built it up too much and was excited to finally see it in my local store. Needs more pumpkin, more body, more sweetness and less spice, especially at 7%abv as it warms it gets kinda boozy and more, and more spicy.

Sep 19, 2009 Pretty nice pumpkin ale. Spice is slightly over-dominant, but makes for a wonderful aroma. Where this beer needs important is the mouthfeel; could have used a lot more pumpkin to make it less watery and more hearty. Still a top 5 pumpkin ale.

Sep 17, 2009 Tried this tonight. It was a bottling from August of this year. Colour... medium amber with a thin tan off-white head. Nose... a helluva lot of pie spice but no "punkin’". Palate... decent level of C02, LOADS of cinnamon and nutmeg all across the palate,the brown sugar is evident, esp. in the residuals of the glass, but not much in the way of pumpkin. I’m beginning to think that most pumpkin ales just need to be called, "pumpkin pie spice" ales!
