Commercial Description:
Brewed with Pumpkin and Spices(Cinnamon,Nutmeg,Cardamom,Cloves). This 8.0% ABV pumpkin ale is heartier, spicier, and more caramelly and pumpkiny than its faint brethren! Perfect finisher on a cool autumn night, or match it up with a slice of pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream. If you don't agree this is the mother of all pumpkin ales, then you just don't like mothers!

Deep amber color with a long lasting foam. Bountiful nose of pumpkin pie, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, as well as a variety of fruits. Lots of taste and complexity. Pumkin pie, all spice, other spices, cinnamon, chocolate and caramel, with nutmeg, clove and a touch of apple as well. This is the best pumpkin flavor out there that I’ve tried. Even better than Pumpking. This is a beer Weyerbacher should be proud of.

Bottle at Odin’s Den, poured copper with a thick head, aroma of spice, body was thick and malty with plenty of spice and a nice pumpkin taste at the finish with a detectable amount of alcohol, bigger, better and stronger than your average pumpkin ale

12 oz draught at Frisco Grille poured medium copper color. Butter, honey and pumpkin in the aroma. Medium body with a nice malty, pumpkin taste. It is more about the pumpkin than it is about spice. Great beer this time of year.

On draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a cloudy orange-brown with a thick head. There’s a whole lotta spice in this beer. Lots of brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Very sweet and lacking roasted malt. It is a little thick on the palate and has a nice kick. Overall, a good pumpkin and sweeter, thicker and stronger than most.

Pours clear copper with off white head that goes away quickly. Aromas of nutmeg and clove. Flavor is very sweet with heavy doses of clove and nutmeg. Medium body with average carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel.
