Pours mahogany into a shaker. Off-white head with little retention recedes to pool surface. Caramel, nutmeg, molasses, and pumpkin aromas. Sharp with sourdough and toffee upfront turning to creamy pumpkin. Rum does not make an appearance other than slight hints in the lasting bitter finish.

Draft @ The Ale House, Amesbury. Dark amber color. The aroma is mostly spice ( cinnamon, nutmeg and all spice) the flavor barely shows the rum barrel. Hints of vanilla and again with the spices. The pumpkin is hard to pick up with the spice. But what is here is a nice amount of earthy malts.
Ok, I’m going to bitch about season creep because honestly I would have enjoyed this more on a cool Autumn night instead of the 82 degree Labor Day I just finished. Maybe would have scored a tad better if it was a later September release date. I am still not thinking pumpkin just yet.

I broke my own rule and bought and drank this pumpkin beer before labor day but it was calling to me at whole foods and I had no choice. Pours nice ruby amber with one finger head. Nose is pumpkin spice and rum. The rum barrel comes through as does some wood, pumpkin pie filling, along with quite heavily spiced. Not too sweet but something in palate is a touch harsh. Pretty good.
