GriffinAvenue (395), Winchester, Massachusetts, USA Jun 3, 2009 Bottle. Copper coloring. Quick dissipation of 1/2" head. Active carbonation from bottom. Translucent. Wooden, earthy, almost metallic in aroma. Light in body and limited flavoring. Hints of honey; corn-like in finish. Fred82 (187), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Apr 22, 2009 341ml bottle, dark amber with almost no head. Aroma is spice, clove, sweet. Carbonation is almost non-existent on the palate. Taste is spicy, some anise. Reminds me a bit of Bieropholie Scotch Ale. This is not my thing. Rating #88 OSLO (746), Minnesota, USA Apr 6, 2009 [Bottle, thanks wickedpete!] Pours amber with a small off-white head. Huge spice aroma with allspice, nutmeg, maybe some cinnamon, but not much. The taste is really lacking with some spice again, grape...at times it is like drinking mineral water. Fairly thin with an average finish. The aroma is the highlight of this beer, and even then it is just spice dominant and one-dimensional. I like pumpkin beers, but not this one. argo0 (6566), Washington DC, USA Apr 6, 2009 (341ml, thanks wickedpete) Small beige head atop crystal clear copper body. Aroma is moderately sweet, clove, allspice. Taste is moderately sweet, clove, allspice, some banana. Light-medium body, light stickiness. presario (2768), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 15, 2009 Bottle in Montreal. Thin white head on copper. More nutmeg scent than pumpkin. Spicy pumpkin flavour but more spice than pumpkin. mabel (2208), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 12, 2009 [1751-20081003] 341mL bottle. Spiced pumpkin pie aroma has a hint of evergreen. Clear, red amber body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Spiced pumpkin cleaner fluid flavour has lots of pie and all spice. Medium body is a little spicy. Quite nice, great release time, tasty.
