Sep 26, 2009 Pours a clear orange with a small white head. The aroma on this is amazing. Very sweet with lots of roasted pumpkin, spices, bread, and a hint of vanilla. The flavor is similar to the aroma, very sweet too. Medium bodied with light carbonation. One of the best pumpkins available.

Sep 23, 2009 After trying lots of Pumkins this year this is my favorite and in aclass by itself. Plenty of spices and pumpkin but overlayed on a really huge Imperial Stout. Get it if you can.

Sep 23, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear, golden-amber body with a thin, fizzy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a soft lacing. Aroma is great. Lots of pie crust biscuits, pumpkin pie filling, and plenty of harvest spices. Lots of nutmeg and a touch of cinnamon make this more sweetly spiced than sharp. Abundant pumpkin pie aroma makes me salivate and almost tempts me to top this with whipped cream. The flavor is very sweet with more of that pie crust and biscuit up front before more sweet pumpkin pie filling comes in. The spices quickly become acquainted, more so than the aroma. They give off more of a perfume-like taste and distinctness that makes them stand out more towards the backend along with a light, pumpkin hop bitterenss. Along with the added spice and bitterness comes just a trace of alcohol that lightly warms my throat after a dry and spicy, but sweet pumpkin pie filling finish. Lingers with plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg for a medium to long amount of time. Lighter bodied, extremely clean, smooth, and very balanced for a 9%ABV beer. Overall, a very memorable pumpkin ale. Extremely aromatic and just as flavorful. Great body and balance make this one of my favorite fall ales to date. Mmmm the spell has been cast!

Sep 22, 2009 This was amazing. The ’Commercial Description’ truly captures the essence of the Pumking. I had some on tap at the East Village Tavern. Poured a nice, light gold. Aroma of spices - cinnamon and nutmeg with mild roasted malt notes. The flavor was sweet, incredibly sweet and tasted like rich pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream. The alcohol gives the brew a nice warming effect. Very smooth and drinkable. Delicious.

Sep 21, 2009 smells amazing, nutmeg, Cinnamon, pumpkin spice. Taste is the same, I thought the body could have been body, but as nice as drinking liquid pumpkin pie.
