Orange-amber in colour, thin but lingering off-white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma has lots of pumpkin and spices, quite in-your-face, some alcohol. The flavour again has lots of pumpkin, moderate sweetness with lots of spices, creamy and some alcohol. Spicy mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with lots of pumpkin, spice and moderate alcohol.
This isn’t lacking in pumpkin or spices. This one has balance and I don’t think I have ever said that about a Weyerbacher beer before. Definitely something that I couldn’t have often, once a year is enough.
650ml bottle obtained in a trade with HogTownHarry, thanks Harry.
Opened on December 11, 2007.
No date.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle at Odin’s Den, poured copper with a thick head, aroma of spice, body was thick and malty with plenty of spice and a nice pumpkin taste at the finish with a detectable amount of alcohol, bigger, better and stronger than your average pumpkin ale

Oct 8, 2008 12 oz draught at Frisco Grille poured medium copper color. Butter, honey and pumpkin in the aroma. Medium body with a nice malty, pumpkin taste. It is more about the pumpkin than it is about spice. Great beer this time of year.

Oct 8, 2008 On draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a cloudy orange-brown with a thick head. There’s a whole lotta spice in this beer. Lots of brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Very sweet and lacking roasted malt. It is a little thick on the palate and has a nice kick. Overall, a good pumpkin and sweeter, thicker and stronger than most.
