22oz bottle. Trade with Swolf3, thanks Steven. Damn, just like pumpkin pie, can even smell the crust in there. Poured a dark gold with a white head. Tastes like pie filling exactly, bizzar. Damn good, glad I have more on the way.

On tap at sharp edge east liberty. aroma is strongly spiced, sweet pumpkin pie, a bit cartoony. Flavor more complex with vanilla & coconut, quite sweet--not pie, but still desert.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 1pt. 6oz. or 650ml. bottle into an imperial pint glass. Appearance: The body has a medium amber color with good clarity. Its head is slightly off white in color, about average in size and quickly settles down to a thin covering of bubbles. Smell: It has a sweet and creamy pumpkin pie-filling aroma with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin and malt. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor of sweet and creamy mashed pumpkin jumps out on the tongue. Nutmeg and cinnamon are noticeable and is in perfect balance for me. Underneath there is a good layer of doughy and sweet malt with some hints of spicy hops in the finish. It has a rich, medium to full body with a creamy smooth texture and soft carbonation. Notes: The flavor is wonderful like a slice of pumpkin pie with cream toping! Outstanding!!!

Bottle courtesy of tpd975. Pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma of fresh baked pie crust, buttery shortbread cookies, and pumpkin pie. Taste is the same as aroma but less prominent. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. The best pumpkin beer ever.

Pours an amber color. The nose is pumpkin spice & possibly some hints of vanilla. Comes across that palate rather similar with an amazing lingering finish.

pours dark gold with a tight off white head. Aroma is nice pumpkin, a touch of spice but not as much nutmeg and allspice as most pumpkins I’ve had. Flavour is biscuity graham cracker malt, nice pumpkin through the finish and a touch of bitterness. Excellent pumpkin beer and the 9% is well hidden.

Bottles from johnykat and kmeves. Thanks guys! Strong aroma of pumpkin, some spice, cinnamon, caramel, and earthy hops. Hazy amber color with no head. Initial clovey spice, followed by cinnamon, vegetal pumpkin, caramel, and lingering spice. Some booze. Big bodied beer with lots of stuff going on. Really enjoyable.

22oz bottle. Wow, pumpkin aroma is intense and very enjoyable. In addition to the pumpkin, there are background notes of caramelized sugar, herbal/earthy hops, and pie crust. Honest to God, this smells like a pumpkin pie. The initial taste is pumpkin, rum-like alcohol, brown sugar, and slightly herbal followed by caramel malt, rum, a somewhat more vegetal pumpkin flavor that is a little more rough than in the aroma, and spice. Alcohol warmth, maybe a little too hot, at the finish. A residual sweetness at the end that doesn’t seem out of place. I wish I had another bottle for Thanksgiving.
