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!

Treated as an imperial ale, this was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt amber to orange color with no head or lace.
The aroma starts off semi-sweet pumpkin fleshiness hitting against subtle spices of allspice, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves; well balanced.
The flavor leans somewhat spicy with a gentle sweetness underneath. Sweet pumpkin flesh rides into the aftertaste and quickly hits the finish, that ends up being slightly spicy - just a little bit.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable to sipping quality sticking to my tongue appropriately. Spices create enough harshness but gentle enough.
Overall, damn nice imperial pumpkin ale that i would love to have again. Thanks Rich C.

Purchased at Siciliano's Market in Grand Rapids, MI; enjoyed on a cool late summer evening. Appearance is dark caramel with a thin white head. Aroma of nutmeg, pumpkin spice, smells like fall. Taste is decent, very much sweet, very much pumpkiny. Nothing thats standing out about this one.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk dregs run. Appearance - deep amber and hazy. Nose - pumpkin, orange and some red fruit too. Light wood spice. Taste - oxidised note. Then orange and wood. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - weird oxidised note that spoils it.

Bouteille. Nez épicé (cannelle, muscade et clou de girofle, notes de gingembre et d’anis), malté de caramel légèrement terreux (notes de pain) et fruité (citrouille) avec des notes d’alcool. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse aux notes sirupeuses. Goût assez épicé aux notes piquantes (cannelle, muscade et clou de girofle avec des notes d’anis et de gingembre – qui dure toute la gorgée) avec un goût fruité (citrouille) et des notes de vanille lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté légèrement terreux de caramel moyennement sucré et de pain parallèlement à un goût moyennement amer d’alcool léger-moyen et des notes de houblon floral et herbeux. Arrière-goût moyennement amer d’alcool moyen, de houblon floral et herbeux et d’épices avec des notes de tarte à la citrouille. [notes 2006]
