Growler pours out amber with tan head. The aroma begins big with pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to go along with good old canned pumpkin and a sense of roastiness in the background. The taste starts with classic Maduro Brown Ale creaminess ushering in roasty malts, pumpkin pie spices and a mild amount of pumpkin. Midway it picks up a bit of chocolate, dark roasted coffee (or possibly dark roasted malts). The dark roastiness plays very nicely up against the spices and dash of pumpkin.

Dec 20, 2009 Growler, thanks to Ibrew2or3 for sharing. Poured a clear reddish color with a thin white head. Aroma is very spicy with notes of cinnamon, clove, allspice, caramel, and malt. Medium to thin body with soft carbonation. Flavor was a let down but only because for some reason I was expecting pumpkin, no pumpkin at all just malt and spice. Finished dry and spicy.

Dec 16, 2009 Handbottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of cinnamon, pumpkin, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and pumpkin, as well as lighter notes of cinnamon, leading to a very dry and quite spicy finish. The body is a bit light. Hmm - I like the aroma a lot better than the flavor. Thanks a lot MadsBerg for sharing.

Dec 16, 2009 Hand bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madsberg. Pours a clear reddish amber with a creamy and lacing off-white head. Sweet cinnamon aroma with a twist. Medium body, very spicy, roasted malts, caramel and lots of cinnamon. Dryish and bitter finish for balance though. Great for a pumpkin ale. 161209

Dec 2, 2009 Growler, courtesy juiceisloose. Pours a pretty clear, dark coppery brown color with hints of crimson. A small, foamy, tan head settles to a thin, smooth layer, leaving minimal spotty lacing behind. The aroma shows a nice base of cocoa and caramel, with hints of smoothing vanilla oats and some nice, fleshy pumpkin. A slight touch of coffee roast lingers in the background, while fresh ginger and soft clove lend complimentary spice. The flavor is very well balanced, with the choco-caramel malt and roast providing the perfect backdrop for the fresh pumpkin. The spicing is very subtle, as it should be, the ginger lending a bright note without becoming obtrusive in any way. Smooth and creamy on the palate, though a bit thin, the oats lend a nice silkiness. Sessionable as can be. I really dig this Maduro treatment.

Nov 27, 2009 Thanks to kiefdog for helping me out with this growler from the brewery. Pours a Maduro Brown color with a white head. Nose is tobacco, spices, nutmeg, pumpkin, and brown sugar. Flavor is similar with sweetness, pumpkin, brown sugar, and spices noticeable finishing with sweet and the trademarked Maduro tobacco-esque bitter abruptness. Interesting pumpkin twist on Maduro. Light to medium bodied and enjoyable overall.
