Dec 17, 2008 Updated: Aug 21, 2009Bomber. Pours a hazy golden amber color, very little head. Aroma of buttery graham cracker, as in the crust of a pie. Maybe a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg as well, but not too much more on the nose. Very doughy and sweet, with a bit of a bite in the finish. Alcohol is definitely present in this one. Very good.

Clear amber color, small white head. Aroma - never had a beer, which has so strong aroma of brown Finnish Christmas Cookies. Syrap, cinnamon etc. Same with flavor: Christmas cookies in liquid form. Perfumic. Not much pumpkin flavors and not much going on in this brew, except Christmas spices.

Dec 13, 2008 Pours a hazy, golden orange with a thin white head. It smells like pumpkin cobbler or a pumpkin tart with a sweet graham cracker crust; great nose. Light to medium bodied and slick with a tight spicy finish. The flavor follows the nose with a slight drop-off. This is hands-down the best pumpkin beer that I have sampled to-date, with Schlafly Pumpkin Ale coming in a few lengths behind.

Dec 13, 2008 Courtesy BeerVirgin72. The clear, dark orange-amber colored body is topped with a thin, foamy, off-white head. A soapy wash of spotty lace slowly decided to rejoin the body. Aromas include fleshy pumpkin, caramel, graham cracker, and and odd hint of corn tortilla chips that I have never before experienced in a beer. Flavors are mostly sweet, pumpkin and caramel malts showing strongest, with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg coming through as well. Big bodied, with balanced carbonation, the mouthfeel is on the syrupy side. This one seems to be more about pumpkin than the spices, which I appreciate, but I still cannot fully get behind it, as pumpkin and fall spices just do not appeal to me all that much.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle Pours out a nice gold/copper topped with a whip cream sand head. Aroma of fresh baked Pumpkin Pie. Tast of spice, nutmeg, and every other ingredient used for a pumpkin pie. This was the best pumpkin brew I have ever had.

Dec 3, 2008 Smell is pumpkin pie, squash like, real smelling pumpkin, nutty, very autumn like. Look is orange colored somewhat clear with an off white head. Taste is real pumpkin, fallish, yeast, and earthy. Good.

Nov 30, 2008 This orange amber pour smells of gingerbread cookies and pumpkin bread. Bready spiced flavor swiftly followed by alcohol and pumpkin. A nice offering.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottled (thanks PilsnerPeter!). Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is very much Xmas cookies along with some pumpkin and mild notes of hops. Flavour is much the same. A real spicebomb
