Wow, this blew me away while I was pouring this. I wasn’t expecting the light color and it smelled like pumpkin pies baking in the oven.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a hazy orange with deep copper in the middle and white-ish slightly orange head. Huge aroma of fresh pumpkin pie, cinnamon, bread, flaky crust and cool whip. How is this not a slice of pumpkin pie? Sure smells like one. Wow, awesome flavor. It’s like drinking a flesh baked pumpkin pie with home made vanilla enhanced whipping cream. Wow, just plain yummy.

On tap at the Trivia Pub. Clear ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and appearance. Pretty thick bubbly head. Very spicy aroma of spiced pumpkin pie of course. The taste is; oh yes, lots of pumpkin, more than I have ever tasted in a pumpkin beer before. Oh yes, oh yes, pumpkin flavors galore. This is welcomed because so many pumpkin beers I’ve tasted have had pumpkin spice but not much pumpkin. However, the strong alky impact of this imperial beer is a little too much for my girlie taste buds. The oppressiveness of the brew makes it at times difficult to enjoy, certainly on the imperial level at 9%! Has some decent carbonation for a tingle. Finish is like pumpkin pie and whiskey, whew. Bitter lingering alky malt finish that hangs for a while after the session.

Bottle thanks to mikem409: Poured orange color with carbonated bubbles running up the edges to a whisper like head. Nice spicy aroma. Taste is a nice pumpkin up front with spices and nutmeg in the end. Alcohol is well hidden.

Half of a shared bomber, form Total Wine, Scottsdale AZ. Amber-orange pour under a brief, beige head. Stellar aroma, spices, vanilla, alcohol, and or course, pumpkin. Full-bodied mouthfeel. Nice flavours, too, the aforementioned pumpkin and spices, with a hint of cinnamon. Not too sweet, either.

I have been wanting to try this for a few years now. Bought on clearance last spring for only $4. Wound up saving it for this Thanksgiving, so was aged about a year. Pumpkin ales are hit or miss for me, but I enjoyed this one. Not overwhelming on the spices, and the pumpkin stands out through in body and taste. Getting some vanilla or cream in the flavor as well. Has a cloudy medium orange to light brown appearance. Good enough to sample again.

Pours a pretty orange-amber - hey, pumpkin color! - with a thick, eggshell-white head that doesn’t stick around too long. Strong, malty aroma has notes of pumpkin and - is that allspice? Something tasty anyway! Malty flavor has decided pumpkin and spice notes, including cinnamon and that possibly allspice flavor. Very drinkable. Texture is smooth with above-average body and a fair tingle, leaving a pumpkin and spicy finish.

Pours an almost clear honey color with a modest, but frothy head that leaves a reasonable splashing of lace. The aroma is of Pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and sweetened cornbread. The taste opens with a rich pumpkin and spice flavor, which becomes increasingly spicy by mid-palate; after the swallow, the cornbread flavor builds, sweet and buttery; the finish has some alcohol on it. The mouthfeel is medium body with moderate carbonation; some warmth on the swallow. Note can't stand anything pumpkin so tried to keep that out of rating.

Pours a nice thick frothy white head and has a pale golden appearance.Thick dirty lacing. Aromas of nutmeg and pumpkin spice. Flavours are quite sweet as well as some spiced notes. More strong nutmeg notes and some pumpkin spice quite apparent, leaves somewhat of a bitter taste on the palate. Also some hints of cinnamon and sugar. Alcohol semi well blended, becomes much more noticeable as you progress. Actually quite sweet. Medium bodied mouthfeel. Good retention. Good but the 650ml bottle is sufficient for my liking.

22 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy yellow orange with a medium creamy white head that retains fairly well and leaves little lacing.

The aroma is sweet pumpkin and lots of spice - nutmeg, cinnamon and hazelnut.

The flavor is sweet pumpkin with a lot of spicy cinnamon and some nutmeg and hazelnut. The finish is kind of harsh medicinal cinnamon The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with slightly sharp carbonation.

Overall, similar spicing to the Warlock. Seems more overdone with the roast to balance.
