Is this a beer? Other than the beautiful appearance, there is nothing about this that resembles beer. Flavor is nutmeg, pumpkin, and cinnamon...good carbonation and nice mouthfeel but that’s about all that’s good when its in the mouth.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. light spice, light malt aroma. malt, spice, and light pumpkin flavor. medium body. Spice and malt linger. Not bad for a pumpkin beer.

the Dan Journal #239. 12oz bottle. Thanks Jerad! Tasted 8/26/08. Filtered and amber with an off-white head. Aromas of allspice and cinnamon. Ginger and toasty malts. Medium bodied with bitter spices and toasty malts. Lotta spice and a woody undertone. Good meld between the spices and base malts.

bottle- this has what I feel so many pumpkin beers are lacking: body. When the cold weather hits, who wants a spiced beer that tastes thin and watery. The abv is perfect here, and the spices are well done. I would go to this one again for sure.

A very nice amber orange color with no head and low carbonation appears from the bottle when poured. Aroma is very spicy pumpkin pie with a stronger note of what seems to be cinnamon. Flavor starts off with nutmeg, cinnamon, a little bit of pumpkin fruit taste and some slight sweet malt taste and then finishes with a dry taste on the tongue. Mouth feel is just a bit watered down but overall the beer is very nice. It’s nice to see a pumpkin beer that is not overpowering of the spices.

The best pumpkin beer I’ve had yet. The spices are very nice in the aroma and very well under control in the flavor, it almost reminds me of an oktoberfest in it’s roasty dryness. There is a tasty fruitiness here as well. The beer looks great in the glass with a big white head that leaves lace and a deep orange color.
