Clear amber color with a thin off white head that dissipates. Spicy aromas, cinnamon, nutmeg. Tastes of holiday spices, nutmeg and cloves. Sweet and malty underneath finally a beer that reminds me of pumpkin pie.

Aroma - notes of holiday spices (cloves, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and alcohol) The appearance is a dark orange amber with an initial white head dissipating into a thin white collar Flavor is a lot of spiced alcohol with cinnamon dominating, some allspice, nutmeg and a heavy dose of clove. Palate feel is a bit too powerful, but also part of the feel, a lot of alcohol burn, a real body warmer.

What can I say? Dogfish head comes through again. Has a small pumpkin flavor blended nicely with hops. Not much of an aftertaste which is always pleasant. I’m starting to become a fan of this brewery.

Bottle. Pours a nice clear amber color with a big frothy head. Aroma of mulitple spices, pumpkin and hops. Taste of all spice, nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin. Flavor is nicely balanced. Has a semi sweet, lighty astringent finish. Nice pumpkin ale.

Bottle. Slightly hazy orange/copper color. Texture is medium-to-full. Smells of vanilla, but the taste is less sweet. Spices (allspice, nutmeg) and rum. Not really like pumpkin, but still a lot going on. Finishes fairly dry.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma has the nutmeg, cinnamon, and all spice with lighter notes of pumpkin ad malt. The flavor is again more heavily dominated by the spices and malt. It has a bready maltiness as if the crust is a bigger deal than the pumpkin. The pumpkin is lighter, but present. This is more drinkable than some other "pumpkin" beers, but does not have anything that is over the top or causes it to stand out.

A fine and small lasting white head crowns this orange-amber beer. Nutmeg- and allspice-like aromas dominate the nose along with a bit of cinnamon. Medium sweetness of toffee in the flavour. Medium-lite body so the alcohol must come from sugar. Certainly more like pumpkin pie than pumpkin.
