From the brewer

All Hallow's Eve is a time of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world, and when magic is most potent. It is thought that we harness this magic to brew our powerful pumpkin ale. Not so, but it is with great respect to the magic of their trade that our brewers produce this fine beer. Take a whiff of this complex ale and your journey has just begun. At first sip, a magical spell will bewitch your taste buds, yet another victim enraptured by the Pumking.

Always good. Maybe a little funkier than I remember?

This is always a pleasure to drink on draft. No surprise here.

It's a little too much like drinking a pumpkin spice scented candle for me to really appreciate it .
2015 release
I just love this beer on draft! Creamy, sweet body with just a hint of molasses. So good.

Always a treat to get this on draft, and last year's vintage, to boot! Cream and sweet corn and pumpkin and all that turkey day jazz, pilgrim.

If i wasn't eating teriyaki, I would've given it a higher rating.

This is a lot better on draft than in the bottle - like a completely different beer. Huge condensed milk overtone that could have been cloying but made me think of pumpkin dessert, paired with a really easy drinking pumpkin ale. Yum!

Not as smooth and rich as my memory of this on draft. It's still a smooth, easy-drinking beer with a nice level of pumpkin spice and a nice creamy sheen on top. For the second time in a week, I found myself wishing for more actual pumpkin flavor, though!

Nice smell-- like a spiced chai. Tastes lightly sweet, somewhat spiced, and thin/light body.
