473mL can (thanks Matt). Pours a clear muddy brown-orange with a beige head. Tons of pumpkin, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon on the nose. Flavour has more of those same winter spices, and a decent pasty malt base. Good body, actually provides a decent support for the "pumpkin spice" bit. It's still just a pumpkin beer, but I liked this more than I expected.

A red copper ale with a very thin off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, pumpkin spices, light mineral notes, pleasant. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with light ginger, pumpkins, light cloves, light mineral notes, pleasant.

Bottle. Cloudy, orange in color with a small head. Aroma is nutmeg, cinnamon and other pumpkin pie aromas. Taste is rich in flavor, like a pumpkin pie in a bottle.

Spices are quite strong, but well balanced by the malt. This beer is really good for the style. It's easy drinking for the high alc.

Draught @ Mugs Ale House. Murky reddish brown with very small frothy off-white head, pumpkin aroma with some liquor smell, low carbonation, initially sweet caramel like taste with pumpkin flavor with alcohol undertones, thin body, medium caramel-pumpkin finish. Not bad, kind of a caramelized-pumpkin ale.
