It's time to usher in autumn with this robust porter. Using pumpkins grown just a half mile from the brewery, Gourdgeous also features traditional pumpkin pie spices and molasses. Rich with notes of dark chocolate, pumpkin pie, and sweet caramel, it's the perfect pour for when the days get shorter.

It has a strong pie spice, soy sauce , and a sweet boozy smell reminiscent of rum high probably comes from the molasses. It is like a mild spiced rum. with a decent pumpkin smell. Taste is smooth and follows suit with smell s. Not a bad beer at all.

Had this tonight for the second time. Bomber purchased from Total Wine for about $8. Was very impressed the first time, and am equally impressed the second time around. Not a big pumpkin beer fan - the pumpkin pie thing sounds great but usually just doesn't work out. However, Gourdgeous really is just that - very nice aroma of fresh pumpkin flesh, spices and molasses. Taste is just you'd expect after a whiff or two. Very clean with little aftertaste; just a little pumpkin and some mild bitterness mid-palate. Overall, a very well-balanced seasonal beer. Would definitely recommend!

Dark brown with a thick light tan head that left a curtain of lacing.
Spicy earthy pumpkin aroma and flavor. Semi-sweet chocolate note as well.
Medium carbonation. Almost light mouthfeel. Slight smoky sweet finish.
I've had a few of this style, this is definitely one of the better ones. Quite delicious!

Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Smells like nutmeg and allspice with just a hint of pumpkin. There is also a heavy sweetness. Very creamy mouthfeel. The pumpkin is there, but there is no squash detectable. One of my favorite pumpkins.
