Draft pour at Dominion Beer and Wine's upstairs restaurant. Poured a bit of a dark, but clear amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was heavy on the spices, both that kind of dubbel yeast character, with lots of cinnamon, caramel, light sugar. Pumpkin is really subtle in this, like very mild pumpkin pie notes.

Sampled at the brewery, pours a hazy orange amber with a ring of white head. Nose has plenty of traditional spice, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, all fairly restrained, root veg, some breakfast bread, light yeast. Flavor is very sweet, lots of brown sugar and malt, more of the expected spice, a little carrot cake, toffee, some raisin too. Full bodied, sweet finish. Not sure why more breweries don’t combine dubbels and pumpkin beers. Seems like a smart combo.
