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!

Poured a murky brown orange color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of banana nut bread, some clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin, caramel, and vanilla. Taste of more spices, cinnamon, light ginger, clove, banana, nuts, bread, caramel, brown sugar, pumpkin, and light alcohol in the finish as well.

From a growler. Cluody dark orange and brown colored body. Fruity and sweet sweet blood oranges pulp and fresh squash. A bit of sugar sweetenes things up but seems to be mostly natural. Body is medium to full, and overall it’s peppery, spicy, and fruity. Good stuff.

Growler shared at a tasting thanks to MrBendo. Poured a hazy amber brown color with a small white head. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie. Tastes of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie filling, cloves, and some vanilla. Finish is smooth and nice. Alcohol hardly perceivable.

On tap at the brewery, allegedly tapped from an actual pumpkin. Surprisingly dark look, maroon and chestnut, hazy, thin head. A lot of spices -- cinnamon, cloves, are really at the forefront. The malt is very typical for the high-gravity Iron Hill offerings, kind of on the sweet side, and with a really big presence. The pumpkin is more apparent toward the beginning, it takes a back seat the the spices and sweet malt. Kind of boozy. Enjoyable but not really stellar.

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.

Sweet with pumpkin spice smelling. Orange color with reddish tint, not much for head. Spicey cinamon/nutmeg flavor; sweet with an alcohol kick.

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.
