Sep 28, 2009 Tap at redlight redlight. Smells awesome. Like pumpkin, alspice and gingerbread cookies. I expected more of that to come out in the flavor. It was more clovey and hazelnut. Really good, would have liked a little more flavor though.

Sep 27, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours a dark orange/amber with a small off-white head. Nice aroma of fall spices (clove, nutmeg, cinammon). Flavor is well-balanced, better than most of its pumpkin-spiced beer peers. Smooth, even palate, moderate carbonation, good spice on the finish.

Sep 24, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a deep ruby amber color with a thick off white head leaving some spotty lacing. Great nose of baking spices, clove, nutmeg, and some toasted malts. Great mouth feel with nice carbonation. A lot of pumpkin beers I’ve tried have a nice nose but are lacking in flavor, this one holds up nicely on both ends, nice job with this one.

Sep 21, 2009 Bottle. Let me begin with a disclaimer that I am drinking this as I am getting the beginnings of a cold. Somewhat ashamed of myself for that. I may have another one when I’m better and revisit this score. Anyway, pours beautiful dark orange-amber, pretty much the color you would expect an imperial pumpkin ale to be. Nice one-inch head, but a little thin, faded quickly. Delicious flavor, well-balanced with all of its intended flavors (pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg). Smooth on the palate, lingers nicely. The 8.0% ABV brings a nice warming effect for the pumpkin time of year. A good beer, one of the best pumpkin ales I’ve had.
