Notes:
Wow, nice gravity on this beer. Looks almost syrupy. Despite this being a Pumpkin beer, the pumpkins weren't the first thing I tasted. Instead, the spices tended to dominate. The pumpkin taste sorta oozes gently into your mouth, in a very good way, and it is a pretty clean finish... smoo0ve. And the head that settles after you poor is a beauty: thin but rich giving a really great nose.
Perhaps my tolerance was high when I tasted this, but it didn't really feel like a 8 ABV beer (I'm Canadian ). So this didn't hit me as hard as I thought it would.
I'm not a big pumpkin beer fan. Reminiscent of Cannery's Apricot Ale (i.e., not a fruit drink, but beer). And this really hits the spot.
I'm glad I found this stuff while I could. It is tough to find now.
