Pours a very dark bronze color with a tiny beige head and poor retention. No lacing. Strong spiced aroma. Similar flavor. Spice-dominated flavor with very little actual pumpkin flavor. A nice change-up from regular beer, but too heavily spiced for regular consumption. Noticeable boozy warmth in the finish.

A pumpkin beer. Not a sickeningly sweet pumpkin beer, not a wickedly over-spiced pumpkin beer, but a pumpkin beer just the same, with all the baggage that comes with it. One day I'll learn and just give up on the style, but, dammit, Paste said this bottle was good. I disagree.

Draught @ Pilsener Haus. Reddish amber with foamy beige head, light pumpkin aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter roasted pumpkin taste, smooth body, long pumpkin finish. Very good pumpkin beer.

On tap at Schafly Bottleworks, pours a clear dark orange amber, almost no head. Aroma is loaded with pumpkin pur�e, and very little of the usual pumpkin spices. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of pumpkin pur�e upfront, but then there is indeed some nutmeg and cinnamon that kick in. Quite robust, yet tasteful and balanced. A nice pumpkin ale.

Bottle from J’s. Pours a clear copper with a half finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Big cinnamon and nutmeg notes. A bit Belgian in flavor and aromas. Light on the palate with some clove and Belgian yeast notes. Hides the abv well. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pumpkin Ale on 24 Nov 2016 at 20:18 - Score: 7.

Thanks Steve.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a dark amber/red/brown color with a mild concave lacing on the sides. No head. Carbonation could be seen rising.
The aroma balances absolutely awesome between the pumpkin sweet flesh to the spices of allspice, ginger and cinnamon.
The flavor, once again, has an incredible balance between the malts and the spices. Some pie crust, but subtle. Pumpkin flesh aftertaste. No finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability. Spices just end up blending so well that they don’t even emit any harshness on my tongue.
Overall, damn nice pumpkin ale that I would love to have again.

Bottle, thanks Wolff. Amber with a white head. A lot of "pepparkaka" both in the aroma and taste. Cinnamon, light malt, some fruit and hints of caramel. I am not a fan of "Pumpkin beers" but this was a decent one.
