Commercial Description:
This extra strong spicy Belgian pumpkin ale is truly a beer from the farm. It is unfiltered with a beautiful Burnt orange color. Ichabod’s nose is filled with flavors of the harvest including clove, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The palette is sweet with hints of roasted pumpkin, and caramel. There is a warming finish that is both fruity and aromatic. Over 6 pounds of pumpkin per barrel were added right to the mash. Drink enough and you’ll lose your head too!

This stuff was great. Lots of spicy yeast, fruity esters, spice, sweet malts, orange, pepper, some toasted nuts, and maybe banana. A ton going on in this one. Orange brown pour, hazy with a thin sticky head. The flavors are sweet and spicy. Lots of yeast and fruit. Really a standout to me at Pumpkin Fest.

Flat-bodied, deep amber brew.Wonderful pumpkin pie aroma, full of allspice, cinnamon, and jabs of ginger. Great synergy of pumpkin, ginger, allspice, and hints of clove creates a well-rounded flavor. Top-notch pumpkin beer. Alcohol is well masked yet accentuates the spices. Quaffable and complex.

Golden color with a nice and strong aroma of big pumpkin, spices, cream and sugar. Flavor is heavy on the pumpkin with some nice cinnamon and spice, loads of sugar, and a creamy booziness that was pretty good. One of the better pumpkin brews I’ve had.

(11/8/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in North Wales. Muddy dark brown color. Aroma of pumpkin, malt, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg) and some fruity esters notes. Very sweet flavor with some pumpkin, spices, sugar and alcohol. Medium-bodied.

Growler from the North Wales location. Pours a cloudy caramel amber with a medium sized light beige head. Aroma of pumpkin filling, banana bread and nutmeg. Taste of rich pumpkin filling, nutmeg and banana bread. Very good. One of the better pumpkin beers.

Tap at IH North Wales. Deep, hazy orange color with good lacing. Aroma of pie spices, yeasty cloves and a bit of alcohol. The initial spicy yeast taste gives way to the pumpkin pie spices in a very enjoyable way. Spicy-sweet finish. Pretty substantial bodied. The alcohol was fairly well hidden. Kudos to the brewers for another great beer.

Draft, at IH North Wales 10/26/08. Poured a murky copper color, capped with a small off-white head. Aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin. Flavor is reminiscent of pumpkin pie filling, with nutmeg, cinnamon, other spices, brown sugar and alcohol. Full bodied and hearty. Spices hang out for a long finish. This was much more impressive than the non-imperial pumpkin beer which was also on tap.
