Sep 27, 2008 Bomber courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a clear dark golf with a half finger white head. Nose smells like real pie filling, cinnamon, spice, etc. I had the Weyerbacher Pumpkin last night and that smelled more manufactured like a pumpkin candle. Taste is real pumpkin pie spices, not over the top at all. I swear I can taste the crust too. It’s got a little alcohol burn in the finish but not bad. Medium mouth feel. This is good stuff. Thanks G-Diddy!

Sep 27, 2008 Sampled side by side with Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin and Dogfish Head Punkin. Pours a deep copper color with orange highlights with a small sticky foamy head. Aroma is first pumpkin, followed by nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor follows the same pattern, big pumpkin taste with pie spices and a touch of caramel malt playing a secondary role. It’s nearly the opposite of many "pumpkin" brews, which tend to be all spice. Also not as sweet as some. Alcohol is well hidden to the point of being close to undetectable. Nearly creamy on the palate. This is my new pumpkin brew baseline. Definitely the king of the three!

Sep 27, 2008 Unlike most pumpkin beers i have had this had a more authentic pumpkin flavor as opposed to a pumpkin pie flavor. The difference is in the amount of spices. There were nutmeg, all spice and other spices but the were softer than most pumpkin beers. A nice copper hue with a thin off white head. Palate could have been fuller, otherwise a good beer.

Sep 24, 2008 Updated: Sep 27, 2009 Bottled, thanks PilsnerPeter! Clear deep golden, minimal head. Overpowering gingersnaps aroma. Very sweet with thick, dense mouthfeel. A one flavour beer - fatty gingersnaps and sweet potatoe is the clostes I can relate to. Very sugary, extremely sweet and very powerful. Alcohol and syrup dominates the finish along with this extreme spice flavour. As subtle as an elephant in an antique store and as refreshing as tabasco. A beer for sipping in minimal amounts, but that really has no depth or even any pleasant flavours.
