Tap. I’m assuming this is the beer given that the one I had was listed as Oso Pumpkin. This beer was one of the worst beers I’ve had in quite some time. The beer looks great with a copper body and a rich creamy white head. That’s where the beer begins to fall apart. The aroma is heavy on the butterscotch and buttered veggies. Heavy buttered flavor. Thank goodness I only had a sample as this was a drain pour.

Dec 29, 2009 This will be the first poor rating that I’ve given to a beer. I feel compelled to. It was God awful! Tasted and smelled of olives and barnyard. Could not get past this. Maybe a little smoke flavor.

Dec 26, 2009 Had this one bottled thanks to Slothgar! Hazy, light orange pour with a thin, wispy white head, balanced nose of smoke and grass, very unusual flavors ... smoke predominates. The beer equivalent of Malort. Choked it down. I like the gutsiness of this beer but I don’t know if I will get this one again.

Dec 17, 2009 Received a single 12-oz bottle via trade with Ughsmash. Pours a semi-hazy amber colored brew with a thick and rocky off-white head that has some excellent retention and sticky lacing. Aroma of smoked peat, caramel malt, floral hops, a hint of rye and campfire charred wood. Taste is medium bodied, multi-personality going on with a profile of a smoked malt, some pumpkin, cinnamon, a touch of nutmeg and some peat. Finish has a smoked peat (plastic bandage) and slight pumpkin aftertaste that leaves behind a dry peat aftertaste. Definitely not your typical nor average Pumpkin ale. This has to be the first smoked pumpkin ale I’ve encountered.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle shared at the DC Local tasting. Pours a translucent orange, brown with a creamy slightly off white head. Aroma is mild, some brown sugar sweetness, a little earthy, some smokey cherry, a little wood. One person remarked, "smells like a hardware store." Flavor is smokey, cherries, peaty, fruits, wood. Active carbonation. Nice, fruity finish.

Nov 29, 2009 Pours as a clear copper with a thick, white head. Subtle pumpkin aroma, sweet malts. ooo, the rye flavor jumps out, over powers the rest. The pumpkin is hidden in there. Light-medium body. I’m not a rye guy, sorry.

Nov 29, 2009 Pours a hazy copper orange with a frothy, clingy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of smoky phenols, cherry and treated lumber. Starts with an average fullness and some earthy smoke and grassy hop before a dark fruity grapefruity finish. A pretty unique and interesting brew, but could use fewer phenolic characters.

Nov 12, 2009 On tap at Sugar maple. Hazy pumpkin orange with a medium off-white head. Aroma of nutmeg, pumpkin, sweet malt and spices. Taste of nutmeg, cinnamon, mild pumpkin, light fruit and yeast. Finishes up semi spicy. Nothing really stood out either way.
