Bottle. Poured an orangish amber with a pop like quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma has a nice combination of cinnamon and pumpkin with a malty undertone. Flavor is full of spices with a clear cinnamon flavor as well as some brown sugar. Pumpkin notes are a bit reserved.

a milder pumpkin beer. Very nicely done; plenty of character and balance with a deft touch. Poured with a nice off-white head and good lace. Medium amber color. Malty and spicy aroma, but not over done. Ditto the flavor. Body is good too, with good carbonation. Finish is nice and as it should be for this style. Very satisfying. Not a session beer.

Pours a transparent dark orange, small amount of white foam. Aroma of cinnamon and allspice. Taste includes spices and pumpkin and gingerbread -- reminds me of a Christmas ale like Great Lakes -- but falls just a tad short of that. Good though.

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.
