A pumpkin ale with the attitude of a world-weary barista, Punkuccino packs a short shot of Stumptown coffee toddy in your pint with just a shake of cinnamon and nutmeg. Pale, brown, biscuit, C-77 Crystal, chocolate and kiln-coffee malts provide the body, German Northern Brewer lends a touch of bitterness, and lactose sweetens just a touch. Three pumpkin additions, in the mash, kettle and fermenter.

Bomber. Huge nose, spice and coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee, enormous. Cloudy black with lace. Interesting flavor, some pumpkin, more cinnamon, lots of coffee. Light but full body. Spiced coffee is not really my thing, but decent.

Bottle from Albertsons. Surprisingly good, mild pumpkin spices, coffee lingers way in the back. Tasty, smooth, welcoming. Perfect fall brew.

Tap at BurgerMania Ebisu. Deep brown with a nice pillowy beige head. Big sweet espresso notes with allspice, clove, nutmeg and cinnamon along with roasted pumpkin. Taste is a little sweet and maybe a bit too heavy on the spice, but the coffee still shines though. As does the pumpkin. I hate pumpkin beers and this is a little too sweet, but I actually liked this. It’s a fun beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Punkuccino Coffee Pumpkin Ale on 29 Sep 2015 at 19:51 - Score: 7

On draft at Montana Brewing Company. Pours a murky brown. Spicy nose, dominated by cloves. Flavors of pumpkin pie spices, some pumpkin, and subtle coffee? Smooth finish.

Bottle: Pours a muddy brown, similar to French roast, topped with a large creamy beige head. The noise is spicy, but not over the top. Pumpkin pie type spices, nutmeg and cinnamon, with a little bit of mocha. There is a strong resemblance to the coffee shop drink; coffee and mocha with nutmeg and cinnamon. Not too much of either part, fairly balanced. I think I like best the level of spice, but I find myself wanting more espresso. Overall a good start to the pumpkin beer season.

Bomber from Kings Liquor in Orange County. Pours darkly ruddy with a beige head. Smooth coffee/cinnamon aroma. Med + body. Very much coffee and cinnamon for flavor. Very smmoth and tasty, but not exactly beer as expected. Great flavor.

Draft pour pint at the collective. Not surprised at all that this is the top rated Elysian pumpkin offering. Damn tasty stuff. Pours a slightly muddy brown color with an off white foam head. Huge pumpkin, Chai spice aroma. Delicious, smooth pumpkin, light vanilla and spice end loaded flavor. Excellent beer. I’ll drink this any day of the year. Love it.

BOttle, clear dark brown, with a quick fizzy head. Nice mix of pumpin, spice and chocolate in the aroma. The nutmeg/spice flavors are prominent and the body is a bit thin. Nice blend.

Great aroma, it smells like a pumpkin latte with clove and cinnamon. Good flavor also. Sweet with pumpkin pie spice and mild coffee with milk. Smooth palate. Good.
