Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Mocha head quickly recedes to skim surface. Cocoa and cinnamon aromas. Medium bodied with sweet banana, caramel, pumpkin and ginger upfront turning to chocolate in the medium length finish. No sign of chili.

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours reddish hazel, small beige head, some lacing. Aroma is REALLY spiced, almost like a pumpkin beer, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, very very spiced with a bit of chili pepper but little actual head. Medium light body.

22oz bomber pours with a deep infra red to ruby red to mahogany colored body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up prunes, black grapes, some blueberry, chocolate malts and caramel malts with a vanilla note at the end of the draw The taste delivers a pleasing blend of chocolate and pumpkin leading quickly into a yeasty spiciness, raisins, prunes and a sliver of molasses. Towards the finish a vanilla sweetness murmurs to the surface as well as light spicy cinnamon and faint ginger like sharpness. There’s a lot going on here but the fruit sweetness, pumpkin and spice and chocolate vanilla all comes together with a harmonious flavor chorus.

Bottle. A- Pumpkin, spices, cinnamon, ginger. A- Orange red color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Spices, ginger, nutmeg, subtle gourds. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, unbalanced finish. O- Too many flavors trying too hard in this beer. It tasted more like a fall time pumpkin spice beer than anything else. No noticeable traits of chili peppers. Mostly pumpkin and ginger.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours ruddy brown with a slight tan head. Aroma of pie spice, ginger, and chili. Med body or better. Flavor is pie spice, dark malt/treacle, ginger, chili, and arguably chocolate. There’s a lot going on here, maybe more than reasonable. Certainly is a flavorful thing. Finishes neither dry nor bitter - more like spicy.

Pour is a almost black with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice full pumpkin pie spice with some of those cocoa nibs coming thru. Flavor is a silky chocolate with the pumpkin pie spices. No real roasted malt or anything from the chili peppers. A decent pumpkin spice and the chocolate and cocoa nibs make this a decent beer.

I never knew that the state of New York was so well represented in the world of pumpkin beer. Draft pour at the Great Pumpkin beer festival. Pours a dark oily copper color with a thin film head. Yeast forward aroma. Flavor is spice forward, the expected pumpkin, and a little floral. I got this for the advertised pepper but I didn’t pick up any. Minty, pumpkin finish. Add more pepper and this beer will stand out to me. Decent beer.
