Mar 22, 2008 Bottle thanks to timmcd64: Pours a nearly opaque dark mahogany with a clingy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of fresh cinnamon and allspice with some earthy dark chocolate notes. Body starts fairly full and oaky woody sweet with a good amount of fresh pumpkin flavor and holiday spice balance. Finishes crisp and fully sweet with a good oaky pumpkin flavor. A unique and enjoyable brew.

Feb 1, 2008 22oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a dark black color wtih an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of oak/wood, lighter sices, chocolate, vanilla, and some pumpkins (the non-oak aged version had stronger pumpkins). The vanilla and pumpkin blended nicely. Tastes of wood/oak, lighter vanilla, punkins and spices.
