Always looking to try something new, this year we decided to brew a variation of our Harvest Pumpkin Ale. The result is Samuel Adams® Double Pumpkin Ale, in which we add more pumpkin and more spices to our original pumpkin brew. At a higher alcohol level, this beer is strong and full of the flavors we love during this time of year. We brew with real pumpkin, which adds a full body and sweetness to this dark, reddish-amber brew. Deep roasted malts, including smoked malt, lend a distinct roasted character, while traditional pumpkin pie spices give the beer its spice note.

The beer pours a dark orange, with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was pumpkin, spices, and citrus. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly creamy, with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet malt, pumpkin, spices, and a citrusy finish. The alcohol is noticeable, but doesn't detract.

22oz bottle pours with a crystal clear amber body that supports a nice looking tan head. The aroma offers up cinnamon graham cracker, pumpkin and prune like dark fruity esters. Nice. The taste is rich and deep with roasted cinnamon pie crust, ginger, roasted pumpkin meat and a pile of brown sugary sweetness. This is bold and rich and sweet. Pretty nice pumpkin sipper.

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.

Really impressive yet hard to describe appearance. Dark amber with a faint redness/mahogany around the edges. Thick amount of lace. Nose is mild pumpkin and spice. Mouthfeel is thin and taste was mild pumpkin. Not quite as good as I had hoped.

Oh my lord , I'm not even going to go through the normal routine of rating. I've drank about 40 pumpkin beers in the last month. And this is one is nuts. Sam Adams has hit a home run with this one. Warlock is fantastic & Good Gourd are fantasistic but this is real pumpkin !

Full of fusel alcohol and light on the pumpkin flavor/aroma. I thought that the Harvest Pumpkin ale was just a few notches better than this. It could have done more with what it was trying to be, and usually Sam Adams delivers a solid product. This was a bit of a swing and miss.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
Not quite as bold as I was expecting, but a decent pumpkin none-the-less. Obviously pumpkin pie spice to the nose and flavor was decent, but the texture was lacking - a bit thin.

Nose is pretty similar to pumpkin pie, nutmeg, cinnamon, etc. Very clear amber color, nice looking. Mouthfeel is full but left me with a watery type thinness at the end...if that makes sense. Flavor is only very mildly pumpkin, more cinnamon, malty sweetness, a touch of peat. Not bad, not really as festive as I was hoping.

Beautiful amber coloring that sparkled like a champagne. Highly effervescent; continually kept up a perfect, creamy tan head. Aroma was a bit disappointing. The pumpkin and nutmeg/spice aromas were there and pleasant, but they were weak - you had to keep searching for them, even after significant warming. The alcohol in this was definitely present and helped make this beer different from most of the overly sweet pumpkin ales out there. The mouthfeel was whisky-ish, like I was sampling a pumpkin scotch. Nice bitterness in the finish and aftertaste - reminded me a bit of burnt marshmallow. The change of pace was nice, but it lacked some depth and complexity imo. It never really went anywhere.
