Had this on-tap 10-21-10 at Hackney's Printer's Row. Served in a snifter. From notes.

A - Amber-orange, clear as stained glass, with a fluffy 2-finger head. Lacing and retention very good.

S - Grandma's punkin pie. Fresh pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, and brown sugar. And wait, whipped cream too? What does that...

T - Oh, fantastic. Tastes exactly like the nose, but even better. Most pumpkin beers either go too heavy on the spice or too heavy on the pumpkin, this achieves absolute harmony. And that has to be lactose sugar providing the delightful whipped cream flavor. This is maybe a touch too sweet, but hey, this was my dessert.

M - Creamy, no distracting carbonation to speak of, carrying on the Wonkaesque illusion that I'm drinking actual liquid pumpkin pie.

D - The alcohol is expertly hidden, but does become pleasantly noticeable at the very end. I tried to slowly savor this, but next to impossible. Wish I would've gotten ahold of a bomber of this.

Serving type: on-tap
