Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin light tan head. The aroma has notes of pumpkin and cinnamon as well as some caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of cinnamon and other spices combined with notes of pumpkin and caramel, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottled (big thanks PilsnerPeter!). Amber colour, small head. Aroma is spices, hops and that’s about it. Flabvour is brown xmas cookies, some slight acidic fruityness as well as spices. As it warms up lots of pumpkin and spices, which also dominate the aftertaste. A very Christmassy beer, though not "made exclusively" for that season.

sweet pumpkin aroma with lots of cinamon and nutmeg and allspice, rich pumpkin flavor is balanced by spices that eventually take over, long bitter finish from the spices, the pumpkin is great but the spices just get to be too much by the end of the pint

Amber, bright. Light fluffy head. Mild spice on the nose, with lots of fleshy pumpkin and a hint of caramel. Slight astringency on the palate, with a good pumpkin character and light spice. It’s ok, but maybe a bit bland. I had just had a famous local pumpkin beer earlier in the day and this one didn’t measure up.

(10/8/02 - bottle) Clear amber body with small tan head. Aroma is pumpkin and nutmeg, light allspice. Taste is allspice, pumpkin, nutmeg, light cinnamon. Finish is lightly floral hoppy. Light-medium body. (10/14/02 - draft) Smells just like a pumpkin pie, complete with nutmeg. Flavor is liquid of same, though the bitterness that sneaks up at the end strongly detracts from effect.

Bottled. Clear amber color, small white head. Rye bread, nut meg, pumpkin and cinnamon in the nose. Brown sugga, coffee, cardamon flavored cookies in the flavor. Some hops and alcohol in the finish. Quite Christmasy actually.
