Pours ruby with a large light khaki head. Smells of pumpkin, cinnamon, hints of smoke, ginger, and nutmeg. Taste is pumpkin, pumpkin pie spices, and mild hints of smoke. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and soft mouth-carbonation, Samuel Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin finishes sweet and a little spiced.

A different pumpkin beer. Dark fruit and spice. Pumpkin is present, but not over powerful. Spice is not overdone either. This beer almost reminds me of a Belgian strong ale.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours very dark amber color, light to medium carbonation. Depending on your tolerance, a full bottle may get you a buzz. Very prominent pumpkin spice flavor, a nice brew reminiscent of autumn. Almost seems like if a barleywine was made from pumpkin beer. Very enjoyable.

Delicious spiced beer that I really enjoyed. One of the better (and stronger) examples of the style I’ve had this season.

Great beer!!! Probably my second favorite pumpkin beer(Southern Tier Pumking). I'd like a tad more sweetness; other than that, perfect.

UPDATED: MAY 30, 2013 Fat Jack pours mahogany brown and gives off a nice red hue when held up to the light. Two fingers of biscuit colored head gives off an impressive aroma of nutmeg, malt, and the advertised big orange gourd. The first sip reveals an intense bright creamy body followed by an enjoyable warming effect. Big flavor with notes of fall spices, fruit, caramel, and lots of pumpkin. The finish has mild floral notes with a dominant pumpkin end. If its pumpkin you want, its pumpkin you get with this brew.

Fat jack double pumpkin pours rich red brown with a fine head of small bubbles. Nose is sweet malt, sweet pumpkin hints and light spice. Nutmeg and something else, cinnamon? Body is light and lively. Taste is complex. Medium sweet on the fore, mellow pumpkin middle and finishes warm and with some roasted nut flavors. Very very nice.

This beer started off slow and then blew me away, style-wise. The aroma isn’t that strong and the initial flavor isn’t that pumpkin-y, but rather has a decent amount of strength. However, as the beer goes along, the strength and the rest of the beer mesh excellently.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Dark amber with a thick tan head. Aroma is pumpkin pie spice and roasted malt. Flavor is intense pumpkin followed by the natural pumpkin pie spices. Very well rounded and nice smoky malt that balances out the sweetness quite well. This is one of the stronger pumpkin beers I’ve had this fall.
