Who's been drinking this

Sweet and spiced, honestly I think the beer base might be really good, but I don't really like the perfumed spice on top of it.
Hints of sweet pie, but curls into a more funky finish. I originally remembered this as very sweet from four years ago, but it's not nearly as sweet or smooth as the Pumking or other recently had pumpkin beers. I found myself wishing it were smoother.
Wasn't nearly as sweet as I remember. This was actually a very good pumpkin beer on the creamy custard side of the spectrum, as opposed to spice-centric. Always good to have another solid pumpkin choice.
Growler
Yum. Perfect for today: plenty of cinnamon, not too sweet.
Bottle at Home
Pumpkin bread smell. Caramel and toffee sweetness, warm maltiness, and faint pumpkin at the beginning and finish.
Bottle
Smooth, hints of spice but nothing overpowering.
Bottle at Home
Smooth, non-aggressively pumpkin-y ale. Definitely no fake flavors here. The pumpkin isn't quite forward enough for my taste, but then that's what I remember of Dogfish Head flavored beers -- the other tastes reveal themselves best with a complementary food.
