Pours a cloudy reddish amber colour and a small off white head, quickly receding. Aroma's: ginger, spices, pumpkin pie. Retronasal it's spices, sweetish, light boozy bourbon. Flavour is sweet, spices. Medium bodied. Long finish with spices. Quite nice actually.

On tap. Pours a clear bronze-amber with a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet, spicy aroma of bready caramel malt, pumpkin, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Sweet, spicy flavour of biscuity caramel malt, toffee, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, vanilla and mild oak in a dry, bourbon warming finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and average carbonation. Very enjoyable. An excellent Pumpkin Ale.

Bottle. Aroma is well spiced, light bourbon, juicy. Taste is pretty good, light sweetness, pumpkin, spice, little bit of bourbon again. Caramel. Very nice.

Orangy color, average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, sweetness, bourbon, some herbal / spice notes but not too much. After a while though, more sweetish (Dutch) peperkoek and all sorts of spices come through. I can still drink this but I'm not enjoying it much. 5-3-5-3-11.
Zieke spul. Alsof je met je gezicht in de Peijnenburg bent gevallen. Een alcoholverslaafde Kapitein Koek in vloeibare vorm.

Van tap bij 't Witte Konijn in Amersfoort. Licht zuurtje, duidelijk bourbon, mooie zoeten, vanille, caramel, wat pompoen?, hoptonen, fris. Heerlijk. (2-3-2019).

Can. Amber pour. Aroma of pumpkin spice, vanilla malt, cinnamon, raisin and dates. Taste has creamy bourbon vanilla, pumpkin spice, dates, caramel, cinnamon, some oak and raisin. Bourbony pumpkin finish and soft mouthfeel. I really like these kinds of beers and this specimen is well executed. Delicious.

Draft @ Gollem Craft Beers. Clear amber, creamy white head. Nose is metallic herbal, caramel, no bourbon, no pumpkin spice maybe some real pumpkin. Taste is bitter herbal cereal, caramel, rather empty, caramel, no bourbon, maybe some real pumpkin. Like an imperial Amber of sorts, disappointing given the words bourbon & pumpkin.
