Orange to golden-brown in color and topped by a dense off white head. Lovely aroma of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, toffee and ginger bread. Lightly sweet caramel malts and vanilla flavors lead into an array of spices and some moderate hop bitterness. Some slight alcoholic warmth in the finish and some lingering pumpkin and spice on the tongue.

Dec 6, 2009 22 oz bomber pours dark orange/hazy brown with solid tan head. Aroma is insanely complex: clove, cinnamon, vanilla, molasses and others. Tast is incredibly sweet, with tons of spice carrying through. Not a ton of pumpkin flavor, but ST managed to do something with the body to give it an almost dry-like pie crust feel on the tongue. This is an incredibly unique beer with the ABV hidden well. I wouldn’t say it’s a great "pumpkin" ale per se, but it’s a fantastic spiced beer. Advice: drink in limited quantities.

Dec 6, 2009 Not a big fan of pumpkin ales but being Southern Tier, I figured this was worth a try and was pleasantly surprised. Pour is hazy orange w/ a soapy sparse head, huge aroma of pumpkin bread and pumpkin spice, flavor is pumpkin spices and powdered sugar, full-bodied, alcohol is very subtle, great fall brew

Nov 29, 2009 On tap @ the Beer Engine. I was SO excited to find it on tap since I thought I totally missed the season and any chance of getting some pumking this year. Pours a very pumpkin orange only a slight bit of off-white head. Beautiful natural pumpkin taste, nutmeg spices and everything nice. Quite a treat, certainly the best pumpkin beer I’ve had thus far.

Nov 26, 2009 Pours a bright orange color with a Foamey medium sized Tope head. Notes of butter, nutmeg, raw pumpkin paste, more spices and sweetbread. Medium thin mouthfeel with a decent finish. Tasty.

Nov 26, 2009 It tasted very sweet like liquid cockies and spounge cake, lots of sugar and sweets. Very odd but also very interesting. Not sure how I would have liked this in a full glass but as a sample it was quite nice.

Nov 26, 2009 Best pumpkin beer that I have ever had. While many like to brag that their brew is pumpkin pie in a bottle...this beer is one of two that actually delivers.

Nov 21, 2009 Updated: Dec 8, 2009Wow. A challenging beer. Pour is ruby orange with smooth head. Nose is all cinammon and gingerbread, with a whiff of pumpkin. Like being a child again. Mouthful is medium bodied, with more pumpkin in the mouth and the spices draw out the experience. Long, smooth finish. A unique and special beer. Very happy to have tried it.
