Oct 15, 2005 (Knoxville Brewers’ Jam). Pours a lovely deep copper with off-white head. The aroma is mostly nutmeg and some, erm, is it allspice? The flavor is very pumpkin-y with nutmeg, cinnamon, autumnal malts, and something like leaves. I have decided that I actually like this better than the Dogfish Head equivalent.

Oct 10, 2005 Am I drinking a pumpkin pie? This is an great festive beer out of NC that definately lives up to it’s name. Strong pumpkin taste, spiced with exactly what you’d expect (nutmeg, cinnamon, a little added sweetness) makes this a delicious holiday beer which goes perfectly with cold nights, crackling fires and hay rides. (Drunken hayriding not encouraged.) I can usually enjoy flavored and holiday beers in small doses (I equate it with egg-nog) but Cottonwood has created a beer I wish I could have all year long.

Oct 8, 2005 Draught at the World Beer Festival, Durrham, NC. Cloudy brown color with thin white head. Smells and tastes of pumpkin pie (cinnamon, pumpkin, brown sugar). Slightly sweet. Very tasty.

Oct 8, 2005 bottled. This beer pours almost ruby-autumn (browish-orange). Small tan? head. Smells great! It really is pumpkin pie; pumpkin,nutmeg, cinnamon, & other spices. The taste is up that same alley, a very Autumn beer and def. one of my favorites out of N.C. There’s also a great butter-malt thing going on too. Thou this beer has its occasions, and sometime it’s only good 1 a nite... I’ve yet to have a pun’kin ale that can compare!

Mar 5, 2005 Definitely has the flavor of a pumpkin pie, but it’s obviously added after the malt. This is an exceptionally artificial tasting beer.

Feb 12, 2005 Interesting nutmeg flavor and aroma. Not much of a head. First pumkin/spice ale I’ve tried. It’s less hopsy, sweeter tasting than the other Cottonwood Ales. It strikes me as the type of beer that one would want to drink by itself rather than with a meal. But that suits me fine.

Dec 13, 2004 Bottle: Poured a orangey color ale with a medium head that disappeared way too fast. Aroma is clearly dominated by some cinnamon. Taste is quite particular with a mix of cinnamon, what I think is pumpkins and some nice malt. Very warm feeling after a couple of sip, which I did, enjoyed during a cold winter night. Overall, considering this is my first pumpkin beer, I was enough enamoured that I wouldn’t mind trying some other ones.
