Bottle shared with the Dev Knights- Aroma of cinnamon, brown sugar, all spice. Palate has some banana, pumpkin. Flavorful but not a refreshing brew, good semi sweet holiday drink.

aroma is heavily clove, cinnamon and nutmeg. flavor is strongly burnt sugar, banana and pumpkin obviously. alcohol burn with a slightly oily finish, like a nut brown almost. more malty than most of the Dogfish beers. nice, but the sweetness and spice are a bit too overpowering.

on tap at the Jet Rock bar at the PHL airport; ambar orange colour with nice malty, spice and candied fruit aroma, full bodied viscosity, balanced malty, dried fruit and spice flavour. nice aftertaste with notable alcohol, though not overpowering.

A copper color beer with a 1 finger head. The aroma was well what did you expect pumpkin. The taste was malty, pumpkin, some spice, & wasn’t sweet at all but I thought it could benefit from being a little sweeter.

Clear light orange yellow in color. Smells like spicy, herbal pumpkin. Tastes like ginger bread cookies and pumpkin bread. Carrot cake as well. Yum! Clean palette. Really good. Not too sweet.

Pours a clear burnt orange with off white head. Aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, malt. Taste is much of the same, spicaaay. A damn good pumpkin beer. Will seek this one out again this fall.

Pours a nice copper color. The nose is all malt and pumpkin pie spice. Cinnamon and nutmeg definitely come through when you drink. Spicy and warming but not overly so. Nice and clean. Definitely one of the best pumpkin beers out there.

12oz bottle. Pours golden brown, the same color as the bottle with a sunset behind it. Aroma is clean and full of pumpkin pie spice. There’s something sharp, like black pepper, in the background. Nice round malt as well. The flavor lasts forever, you swallow and feel it slowly move down to your stomach. Each sip is mouth filling and tastes warm even when served chilled. Some raisin in the background behind all the spices and pumpkin. It’s like a pumpkin pie with a malt flour crust. Flavor doesn’t lessen as you work through the glass, the last sip was just as tasty as the first. Yay beer!
