| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Pours a copper color with a with a white head. Good lacing, medium carbonation. Aroma is pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. The taste is lots of pumpkin, chai tea, spices and alcohol. One of the better pumpkin beers I’ve had. Shakesbeere (53), Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 18, 2009 A potent aroma of pumpkin, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Flavor is a little weaker. A lot of nutmeg and spice combined with the pumpkin and brown sugar -- almost like a mixture of pumpkin pie and chai. A fun flavor, but it becomes a little overbearing.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 19, 2009 For the style this is a solid beer, but I’m not a big pumpkin fan so that kind of makes it hard to be objective with this beer. Pours from a bottle into a pint glass a nice orange color. Pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg dominate both the aroma and the taste. Pretty much the bottle label tells you exactly what you are getting. Have to give it solid ratings for being what it says it is. bobbypaulson (100), , Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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". RHeastings (395), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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. DerBiermeister (510), Birmingham, Alabama, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | 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. mwelsh13 (483), Maryland, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | 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.
