Nov 1, 2009 Okay, I like this beer, but it tastes like a scented candle. It smells like a scented candle too, but not as much as the flavor. Vanilla, cinnamon, some clove. Alcohol incredibly well hidden. Taste is all pumpkin, without very litttle bready beer flavors underneath. Mildly sweet.

Oct 31, 2009 Clear amber color with a true pumpkin pie aroma. One sip and your palate is treated to nutmeg, pumpkin, clove, and brown sugar. For a pumpkin beer, this one is a real treat.

Oct 31, 2009 Nice pumpkin aroma. Typical pour. Way too much on the brown sugar. Dry, possibly too dry finish yet sticky on the lips at the same time. Too much spice and kinda harsh. Could not finish the bomber. I’ll save my other bottle for next year and hope for the best.

Oct 31, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Chesapeake, VA. Dark orange pour with a very thin white head. Very sweet aroma of pumpkin, brown sugar, clove, nutmeg, and sweet cream. Way too sweet flavor but the pumpkin is there. There is really no way I will finish this entire bottle on my own. If it’s pumpkin you are going for you will get that here; unfortunately it is just way too sweet for me...The side of the bottle suggests pouring this into a goblet at 40 degrees F. Initially in following this suggestion I was a bit overwhelmed by the sweetness of this beer. After this has sat some I will say that it does get better with a combination of the open glass and the increased temperature. However, I still don’t think I will finish the bottle.

Oct 31, 2009 Poured from bomber into Goblet.
Somewhat clear burnt orange with thin off-white head that doesn’t leave much behind.
Pumpkin galore - sweet pumpkin pie aroma with lots of spice, such as cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, with a dollop of creme. Do not smell much beer in there, but that is fine; it smells delicious.
Very spicy and pumpkin-like. Surprisingly, a lot of the spiciness seems to come from the hops. Somewhat sweet pumpkin pie is evident and it does taste as if there is whipped cream. The alcohol is a little too noticeable.
Moderate carbonation, creamy body, pretty dry body despite the sweet pumpkin taste.
Easily the best pumpkin beer I have had. Doesn’t really seem like a beer, more like liquid pumpkin pie. However, between the alcohol and very un-beerlike taste, it is hard to drink too much.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Orange. Small head. The aroma is sweet and spicy (clove) like gingerbread biscuts. Sweet vegtable, sweet malt, lots of spices, small bitterness. Big bodied.
