On tap at As Is. Pours clear gold brown. Rum, lots of rum, vanilla, little cinnamon, so much molasses and boozy rum. Medium body. Nope, needs to balance out that rum more.

Tap at Sedona. I hate this base beer. Pours brown. Aroma is sickeninly sweet chocolate and spices, but is saved by a good amount of rum/barrel. Flavor... that first sip I taste the smack of overwhelming base beer, followed by the savior rum, barrel, spice (in addition to the original spice). This one is drinkable, but glad I got a 5 oz pour.

22 oz bottle bought forever ago. Like the base beer, it pours a transparent orange color with a small white head. Aroma of pumpkin pie, light vanilla, rum cake. Shockingly, I found this was really nice, it might have been the 12-18 months it aged a bit, even though it was in the fridge most of that time. Smooth, pleasant, even with just a little bit of heat.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of rum and booze with sweet grains and a bit of pumpkin spice supporting. Flavor is more balanced but still has a strong rum note with some sweet grains, pumpkin spice and a bit of caramel underlying.

Bomber from Bruisin Ales. Pours dark gold with a transient white head. Aroma is moderate pie spice and maybe a bit of squash, and arguably a rum note. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is pie spice, arguably pumpkin, and definitely some rum for fun. There’s a little oak flavor and astringency. Nice flavors!

Very sweet! Guess the rum adds to it. Bit funk on nose but that might just be me. But damn smooth and light for 9abv.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a bronze color with a medium sized foamy orange-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet toasted caramel, sugar, rum and faint cinnamon. The flavor was toasted caramel, cinnamon, sugar, rum and a strong boozy presence. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Interesting.

Pours clear gold into a snifter. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Caramel and vanilla aromas. Sharp with sweet pumpkin and nutmeg upfront turning to warming sour fruit rum in the medium length finish.

Bottle thanks to Justin. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. A big boozy pumpkin nose. Vanilla, spicy sweet pumpkin, spicy hot rum. Really quite nice. Smooth despite clear rum. Nice.
