| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 19, 2007 22 oz. brown bomber bottle. Pours out a clear, deep orange color, with a minimal tan colored head. Aromas are of cardamom mostly in this bottle. Numbs your mouth when it’s swallowed. Flavors are mostly of spices. Decent body, medium mouthfeel. OldGrowth (1426), North Carolina, USA

Sweet & Spice. Pretty much like aroma, pumpkin tad stronger. Medium body, lite creamy mouth feel, sweet finish.

Great nutmeg/spice taste with a hint of Pumpkin. Best Pumpkin Ale in my opinion. Drink4Satan (586), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Sep 18, 2007 Pours a clear orange amber with a quickly diminishing off-white head that fades completely. The aroma is immediately nutmeg and pumpkin, a combination that resembles bubblegum in this case. Cardamom, cinnamon and intoxicating clove pierces through also. The flavour has a strong caramel malt backbone with all-spice and pumpkim overtones, finishing slightly bitter from the alcohol and sweet/spicy. The palate is a bit oily, but still pleasant and easy to drink. This is a fantastic pumpkin ale, quite possibly the best I’ve ever encountered. emerica56 (583), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Sep 18, 2007 This beer pours a clear golden color with a nice head and decent laceing. It had some strong smell of nutmeg and mild hints of bubble gum. As it slides down your throat there are some strong flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon hopps. There also is some intence clove on the back of your palate. The after taste is very smooth and the nutmeg coats the inside of your mouth and stays arround for a while.
