Harvest Pumpkin Ale from Madison Brewing Company
18 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
Deep orange coloured body with some brownish tints and a light tan head. Aroma of really strong pumpkins, brown sugar and some good caramel malt. Medium-bodied; Strong pumpkiny taste with some good sweetness rolling through the beer. Aftertaste lasts long and stays reminiscent of the season throughout. Overall, perhaps the best of the bunch from the brewpub. A good seasonal and one that should be tried if possible. I sampled this beer on draught from the brewpub in Bennington, Vermont on 23-October-2005.

Old 76 Strong Ale from Madison Brewing Company
18 years ago
5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Deep brown coloured body with a light brown head topping the beer. Aroma of pit fruits, raisins, figs, malt and alcohol. Medium-bodied; Chewy flavour of raisins and malt most noticeable with some subtle spices coming through. Aftertaste shows some bitterness, but the sweetness really shows through. Overall, a strong beer - a bit too alcoholic and not enough sweetness to make it rough on the palate. I sampled this beer on draught from the brewpub in Bennington, Vermont on 23-October-2005.

5.2/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5
Red coloured body with a little bit deeper hues throughout and a really thin tan head that faded fast. Aroma of malt, caramel, toffee and littl else. Light to Medium-bodied; Mild alcoholic taste with some decent maltiness and a bit of a caramel sweetness. Aftertaste shows little else but the bitterness. Overall, a bit off from a standard Scottish - not horrible...but not worth drinking again. I sampled this beer on draught from the brewpub in Bennington, Vermont on 23-October-2005.
