Cask. At Volo Casks Days ’07. Hazy orange-copper pour, average head. Aroma of caramel malt and fresh pumpkin, always nice to smell a pumpkin beer that isn’t just pie spices ... also had mild cinnamon/nutmeg spiciness and some dry hops ... smelled like a "Belgian" yeast, but what do I know about that stuff? The taste was simpler than the aroma, more bitter, pungent spice, less of the vegetalbe pumpkin character, had a nice herbal finish. I found the body quite thick, not much carbonation but who cares - and a long pungent dry spicy finish. Very very good, it paled a little as I’d had the Southern Tier Pumking the day before, but better than the other Ontario Pumpkins, that’s for sure.

Amber brown body, headless. Strongly spicey aroma, hints of root beer and a peat like substance, one spice in particular that I can not identify. (7+) Carries over to the flavour with lots of spice and only mild pumpkin. Nice but it becomes overwhelming after a while. Full bodied for a cask but a bit under carbonated.

Cask at ’Volo Cask Days ’07’. Pours a cloudy orange-amber with a spare diminishing off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, pumpkin and spices. Flavour seems a little boozy which is odd for a 6% beer. Sweet malt, spices and a somewhat bitter finish. Good body for the style. Just O.K.

Volo Cask Days 2007 Spicey pumpkin filling nose, hazy, brownish/orange. Flavour is pumpkin all the way(were many pumpkin pies pureed for this?) Medium bodied, very well balanced, spicey, great mouthfeel, a lavish texture. Terrific! Well done again Perry!

At Volo cask Days 2007. Brown, a few bubbles in the head. Good malt, spice, alcohol aroma. Taste is a little syrupy sweet - there is pumpkin and spices here, but I think they would have been better served maybe at 5%? I dunno, for 6% , i found it boozy for some reason. Anyway, I enjoyed it, and am thankful Perry continues to cater to us beer folks by brewing up these interesting one-off’s.

[764-20071020] Cask @ Volo Cask Days 2007 (Toronto, ON). Super ginger aroma with atomic oxo cubes. Slightly hazy, amber brown body with no head. Spicy nutmeg and ginger flavour has a bit of bread crust. Medium-full body is smooth. Better cold, reminds me of a pumpkin pie-like mix.
