Had on tap at Fat Heads. Review from notes.

A: Spooky Tooth was a darker copper color with a small white head on top that dissipated quickly leaving a thin ring on top with minimal lacing.

S: Pumpkin pie spices, cinnamon, cloves, with some bready malt and a little toffee.

T: The taste was actually a little boring, some more pumpkin pie spices with some faint bready/graham malt.

M: Medium bodied with medium carbonation.

O: Decent, but I preferred Phantom Pumpkin over the imperial version.

Serving type: on-tap

Fatheads Brewery & Saloon
Spooky Tooth

APPEARANCE: Pours a pumpkin like deep orange color, bordering brown. Off white sticky foam leaves plenty of lace. Looks almost like a cream topped pumpkin pie in a pint glass.

SMELL: Aroma of pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, fresh gourd, cinnamon, caramel, burnt sugar and a firm, nutty maltyness.

TASTE/FEEL: Subtle pumpkin flavor with a complimentary dose of spice and vanilla. Brown sugar, nuts and toasted malt qualities coming out nicely. Mild hoppy bitterness keeping everything in check, still finishes a bit on the sweet side. Full bodied ale and oh so smooth. Goes down quickly and effortlessly with solid flavors and a silky smooth feel.

OVERALL: A fine pumpkin ale from the world class brewers at fatheads. Hides the alcohol very nice and has a great feel and agreeable flavor.

Pours an amber orangish color with a slight head which leaves a little lace. The aroma is of pumpkin along with the nutmeg and cinnomon. The taste has a nice pumpkin flavor which is rounded out by cinnamon and nutmeg along with a touch of sweetness and vanilla. The mouthfeel is moderatley carbonated. Overall it was a solid pumpkin beer, one of the better ones in the class.

Enjoyed this brew in a large pint glass poured out of a growler I got from the brew pub in North Olmstead.

“Rich Amber color with aroma of sweet pumpkin pie and savory spices with hints of sweet malt. Rich and creamy with a chewy mouthful that you can sink your teeth your into. Flavors of pumpkin up front then sweet malt, pie crust, spice, hints of brown sugar and a clean finish.”

A: Amber-copper color with a white one-finger head that quickly dissipates leaving a nice trail down the glass.

S: Spicy pumpkin and sweet aroma with hints of cinnamon and caramel.

T: Similar to aroma this brew has a robust pumpkin and dominate cinnamon flavor. Hints of spices and caramel in the background.

M: Medium body and medium carbonation

O: This is probably the strongest pumpkin ale I have ever had. It was a little sweet for me, but overall a very good beer.

Poured from tap at the brewery this past Wednesday night, August 17th, 2011 into a clean, clear pint glass.

A No head over a deep caramel and indeed pumpkin color. That is what I expected from the look of the beer but the look remains good. 4.0

S Nice, pleasing pumpkin scents mixed with a sweet malt alcohol warmth is exactly what I was hoping for. 4.0

T Good, solid tasting Imp. Pumpkin Ale as it is a huge, sweet bodacious bomb of pumpkin which is not only what I expected but also what I hoped for. 4.0

M Smooth, thick and big. Good, syrupy feel. 4.0

D/O Cannot be that high IMO due to the ABV but I did enjoy the pint that I drank. 3.5

Notes: Another solid beer from Fat Heads which is quite consistent in my opinion.

I had this beer on tap at the Cleveland brew pub.

The Beer has a great brown, reddish hue to it. It passes no light though it, has a decent one finger head, and some lacing on the glass. The smell comes off with a decent blend pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of sweetness, almost molasses or brown sugar. The taste is very similar with the great blend of pumpkin and cinnamon with a nutmge finish, some sweetness to round it out. The mouthfeel leaves a decent carbonation, somewhat dry from the spiciness of the beer. Overall, a great Imperial Pumpkin Ale with some kick and spice galore.
