Reviewed from notes.
On tap at the brewpub.
Appearance: copper color with a bar pour's kind of slim white foamy head which dissipated and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: pumpkin sweetness, ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar and allspice
Flavor: leads sweetly with the pumpkin and the spices follow underneath for an effort to balance; finishes pumpkin-like and some cinnamon & allspice
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe closer to light bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also some spicy assertiveness
Overall: nice enough pumpkin ale I could have again.

Bottle from The Lazy dog Deep copper color with a decent white head. Aromas are huge with brown sugar, caramel and pumpkin spices. Light bready malt flavor with the sugar and spice form the aroma. Not the worst pumpkin brew I’ve ever had but still not a style I gravitate toward.

Sample at GABF 10/03/2014, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Dark orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Strings of lace. Aroma of malt, nutmeg and caramel. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt and pumpkin spices. The finish is sweet with a malt and nutmeg aftertaste. Decent overall.
