11/13/08 notes: bottle. Pours orange with little head. Aroma rich with spice and malt. Flavor profile matches spices, with nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon, just like the aroma. This is definitely a crafted offering, with a distinct flavor that was well-intended. However, quite strangely, I just couldn’t find anything “catchy” about this beer. It had a flavor that was tasty, yet not attractive, flavorful without being something I would want seconds of. Was it because this was overdone?

A nicely balanced pumpkin, just the right amount of spices and pumpkin coming through. Not overwhelming like some...

fluffy head, with a very strong sent of pumpkin and spices, could smell it across the room. the color is a light clear brown color with amber in it, the taste is sweet, with spices and some pumpkin. I really dont like the aftertaste this gives you, and it lingers.

I was able to try Dogfish Head Punkin’ Ale at GingerMan in New York on 11/12/08, after the AC/DC concert!! The brew was a nice deep brown color with a small tan head. All the necessary flavors and aromas to make a good pumpkin ale were present, Pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.

Bottle, thanks Jared! This is probobly one of the best punkin beers I have sampled. Pours an orange beer with a thin amber head. Tastes like a quality spiced pumkin beer. Really good for the lovers of halloween. Although it was very pricy.

Expensive, but I had to try it. Poured orange like a pumpkin, with a small white head and light lacing. Nose is spicy, with pumpkin notes. Smooth mouthfeel for such a spicy beer. Flavor is of nutmeg and sugar. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable.
