I feel like most pumpkin beers I have are straight-ahead ales, so I was intrigued by this stout offering. And I wasn’t let down. The Pumpkin Stout has all the pumpkin deliciousness of a great fall beer, along with the richness and complexity of a strong stout. Poured a dark black with a solid beige head. In the flavor, you can certainly detect notes of coffee, chocolate and other spices, which all compliment the pumpkin quite nicely. Finishes smooth, making the whole experience amazingly good.

Small dark-beige head over jet-black beer. Liquorice & lavender, pine or spruce, but not hoppy. Slightly peppery aroma too, maybe. Sweet, smoked and very roasted. Jumble of spices throughout, but no way of telling what - except some cinnamon impression. Bit uneasy balance. Medium bodied, very slick, grist. Not bad, but I get the impression that the intended flavours don’t work optimally together. Big thnaks to DavidA!

Dark brown with no head. Some chocolate and pumpkin on the nose. Toasty-chocolatey taste with some late pumpkin. A bit watery, especially towards the finish.

Mild pumpkin aroma and flavor. Some nutmeg, just a little cinnamon. Black color and a roasted malt flavor, that hides the pumpkin more than anything else. Maybe it is past its prime now, in January.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of spices as well as medium notes of something burnt and pumpkin. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of spices and roasted malt, medium notes of pumpkin, and light notes of cinnamon. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

12 oz bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Pour is black, with a nice one inch off white head. Aroma of pumpkin and spices - cloves primarily. Taste reveals much more of the stout, nice roasted maltiness, midway through it turns to the cloves and spices. Out of nowhere, dry cinnamon jumps out. Every sip was different and unique with this one. Odd beer, but interesting and enjoyable. Thanks Brian.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of jjpm74. Clear dark brown with an orange hue and a rough, beige head. Spicy, cinnamon-like aroma with some hard roasted malts also. Medium body, quite spicy with cardamom and cinnamon showing combined with a roasty malt feel. Dry and lightly burned malt bitterness in the finish. 131108
