This rich and luscious brew indulges in flavor with over 28Ibs of pumpkin per barrel, for a full bodied sweetness and deep russet color. Classic pumpkin pie spices of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice ignite a warmth and spark that’s deepened by an undercurrent of roasty smoked malts. The result is a delectable brew full of enveloping layers of flavor and spice.

Pours a deep amber colour with a beige frothy head, good retention and nice creamy lacing. Sweet malt aromas with the caramel and pumpkin pie spices. The taste starts on the sweetness, but less than expected from the scent. The spices balance out the caramel and even some hops show up. Bread notes from the malts lingers. Very smooth going down (oily and silky). Hope the LCBO gets this one every year.

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color ale with a nice off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of cinnamon and cloves with light cereal notes is OK but subtler then I was expecting. Taste is also dominated by cloves and cinnamon with almost no perceptible pumpkin notes. Body is lighter than expected with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. A lot more tame than I was expecting…

500ml bottle. Poured a clear dark orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was notes of sweet malts, some pumpkin character. Flavor had light pumpkin pie spices, alcohol comes through. Finish is some nutmeg and cinnamon notes, some brown sugar notes.

Rich deep muddied brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head, about a centimetre thick. Aroma of pumpkins, squash, brown sugar, earth and quite a bit of alcohol - nice and deep. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich squash and pumpkin flavour with some deep browned sugars, caramel and pit fruits noticeable. A bit of a perceived alcohol hit coupled with some yeast notes as well make for this to be well-rounded. Aftertaste is subtle yet very full-flavoured and long lasting, due to the rich squash in the mash. Overall, a very nice pumpkin-based beer with bunches of spices, yet the sweetness and rich maltiness lead this one to be a great beer. I sampled this sam adams-styled 65 cL bottle purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City) on 05-October-2014 for US$5,49 sampled at home in Washington a few steps away on 19-October-2014.

Flaske 0,65l fra Systembolaget Luleå, Storheden. Delt med flere under treff på Nerstranda 9 Apr 14. Mørk amber. Litt farge på skummet. Krydderaroma. Kardemomme. Smaken er pepperkaker. Blir litt tørr. Antakeligvis et halloweenøl - men denne hadde vært et fantastisk juleøl.
