Jun 10, 2009 I tried this beer for the past 3 years (06, 07, and 08) and the 08 bottle is by the best one. I don’t know if they kept tweaking it but they got it this time. Pours lighter brown with a cream head. The aroma is amazing of nutmeg cinnamon and pumpkin. The taste can be summed up by one word "Halloween".

May 23, 2009 Enjoyed on draft and via 12oz bottle. I sampled this beer this past autumn, and recently found my notes from the sampling. Perhaps the best part of this beer was the aroma. I got notes of fresh-baked pumpkin pie. This beer had one of the most appetising scents of any spiced beer I’ve ever had. While the palate wasn’t quite a match for the aroma, it was still tremendous, giving notes of pumpkin, along with some malt and just a touch of hop balance. The best Halloween season beer this side of Southern Tier Imperial Pumking.

May 9, 2009 Another brew from that feerless leader of Dogfish Brewery. This is a very tasty beer with a complex and well-balanced palate of pumpkins, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Delicious and perfect for a Thanksgiving dinner.

May 6, 2009 Draft pours medium brown with a tannish head. Big vegetal and squash like aroma. Some molasses and brown sugar aromas too. Smooth body and flavor. No bitterness. Pumpkin is in the back of the swallow. Drinks very nicely. Not too overdone.

Apr 19, 2009 Bottle, Pours to a clearish-copper with a one finger, white head. Nose is malts, banana, nutmeg and the season of Fall. Really. Taste is malty pumpkin with a thin spice finish. This is a fairly watery product for the folks at DFH. It’s worth having a few times, but nothing to hoard.

Apr 13, 2009 [1924-20081222] 12floz bottle. Roasted banana pumpkin aroma has sweet bready yeast leaf notes. Clear, dark orange amber brown body with a quick foamy white head. Flavour continues with a bit of bready pumpkin, slightly burnt, and some allspice and banana. Medium-full body is a little boozy. Not a great pumpkin but not bad.
