12oz bottle picked up at the state store. Pours dark brown with a small beige head, light lacing. Pumpkin, dark malts, vanilla, chocolate, sweet malts, raisins with a bitter finish, spices. Not bad but unique flavors.

Not sure why I grabbed this but something compelled me. Dark brown pour smaller head that disappears quickly. Nose is vanilla and pumpkin pie. Tastes of pumpkin filling, chocolate, root beer, vanilla, nutmeg, some hooch. Sweet and slick palate. Ok

Dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of insanely pungent chocolate, light coffee, squash, allspice, cloves and cinnamon with a noticeable bite of nutmeg near the end as well. Full-bodied; Squash flavour at first without the body from it, along with a ton of toasted malts, earth, grain, alcohol and pure vanilla pod flavour with a heavy helping of brown sugars and bourbon and/or rum noticeable at the finish with a drier flavour and definitely more pungent than typical. Aftertaste shows some malt, alcohol, oak, bunches of vanilla and ending with an elegantly poised spice jumble with allspice, canella and nutmeg all very strong, pungent and well incorporated. Overall, a very nice beer with a ton of spices, a lot of body, good character and complexity and a smooth sweetness throughout the beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Corner Store (Bait and Tackle) in West Palm Beach, Florida on 26-December-2017 for US$3,99 sampled in my hotel room here at Disney World [Dolphin] on 28-December-2017.

Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours a cloudy brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin spice. Medium mouthfeel with strong spice, nutmeg, cinnamon with light dryness. Decent.

Sample at Kurtkeller 001: Pumpkin-tastic 01 on 11/22/2013. Pours a dark brown color with a medium khaki head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Roasted malt, caramel and pumpkin spices in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of pumpkin pie, smoked malt and hops. The finish is pumpkin spices up front with a lingering caramel malt aftertaste. Enjoyable all around.
