Commercial Description:
Brewed with Pumpkin and Spices(Cinnamon,Nutmeg,Cardamom,Cloves). This 8.0% ABV pumpkin ale is heartier, spicier, and more caramelly and pumpkiny than its faint brethren! Perfect finisher on a cool autumn night, or match it up with a slice of pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream. If you don't agree this is the mother of all pumpkin ales, then you just don't like mothers!

Bomber. Dark copper with a thin fizzy head. Insanely strong aroma...pumpkin-forward with hints of nutmeg and other spices. Nice solid flavor. Good strong pumpkin flavor, understated spice make-up, and a touch of hoppy bitterness. Good pumpkin that I’d never guess by the taste is an 8% ABV beer. A bit of sour aftertaste is the only big knock.

A good beer, though I do tend to like herb/vegetable/spice beers a lot. The aroma is pure pumpkin pie. Flavorwise this beer is very strongly of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. The one thing I don’t like is how it has kind of an overly herbal aftertaste and kind of sticky mouthfeel. Otherwise, it’s great.

Poured dark amber wit an ivory head.lots of nose on this.An array of pumpkin, cinnamon, alspice, vanilla and nutmeg aromas.Flavor had the same array.This was a good, but not overly impressive pumpkin beer.the finish was light and watery on the back end.

This is a great pumpkin brew. It was very well balanced, being not too pumpkin and just spicy enough. If you haven’t had this one, pick it up and toast one to Charlie Brown. The great pumpkin has arrived.

[Bottle, thanks Badgerben] Pours dark hazy amber with a small beige head. Aroma and taste are pumpkin pie--strong nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, but especially nutmeg. Very spicy. Medium-thick mouthfeel. Excellent pumpkin beer.

bomber poured into a snifter (several times) a orange ruby in color with little carbination and light lacing on the surface. smell is cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, a little pepper spice, and malts. this stuff make me think fall is finally here. taste is medium on mouth feel, has a nice smoothness from the malts, and the same spices from the nose. definitely has all the qualities i would have hoped for. I have been waiting for a while to try this one.

Pours out a nice orange color with a small head. aroma is just like a pumpkin pie. The flavor is very much the same, but the alcohol was present. It took away fromthis beer, but a very interesting brew indeed. i love this brewery. I think they are a top notch brewery and i have rarely drank beers from them that are sub par/
