Tap at the brewery - much respect for this in that the pumpkin is well.showcased and this is not just a spice bomb - flavor of sweet and earthy pumpkin flesh, tempered by a light tartness, and mildly spicy alcohol - just some hints of spices - some buttery character and toasty maltiness finish - solid pumpkin ale.

Lightly hazy dark copper - nose of rich beechwood smoke, toasty sweet maltiness, campfire wooodiness - creamy texture - medium sweet, deeply complex beechwood smokiness, without the abrasive character you often get with highly smoky beer - lovely.

Tap at the brewery - dark ruby - creamy texture - leafy bitterness and notes of tobacco make way for vanilla cream sweetness, light smoke, espresso, and.bittersweet.chocolate - decently made, but the bitterness is a bit much.

Sample at GABF 10/03/2014, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Slightly hazy yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that evaporates quickly. Spotty lacing. Aroma of fruit, hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of tropical fruit, grassy hops and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
