Appearance: Slightly cloudy amber-brown, with a faint, off-white head, which soon collapses to a dusting of foam. Thin and unbroken lacing leaves a circlet about the glass wall.
Aroma: Pumpkin spices and spicy alcohol dominate. Dark caramel list beneath the surface. The aroma is similar to that of cold pumpkin pie.
Taste: Pumpkin pie spices and dark caramel open the taste. Surprisingly, the alcohol is milder than in the aroma, offering only a mild warming. As the taste progresses, the pumpkin pie spices intensify. Late in the taste, the alcohol makes its presence known with some pleasing spice. Finishes with a lingering note of pumpkin pie spices
Mouth feel: Smooth, pleasant, and full, with only a bit of carbonation.
Drinkability/notes: Very pleasant and drinkable, a superior example of a strong pumpkin ale.
Presentation: Packaged in a standard twelve-ounce brown glass bottle, served in a Duvel chalice.

This is 2 years old. Pours a slightly hazy deep copper color. Small foamy head. Virtually no head retention. Lacing is minimal. Strong pumpkin aroma. Nutmeg spices. Pumpkin with strong nutmeg spices in taste. Light to medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Serving: 12 oz bottle (stamped "16/09/15"), poured into a 9 oz Libbey Embassy snifter.
Appearance: Hazy, tawny amber with a light, bubbly head of off white foam and streaky spots of lace.
Smell: Full on pumpkin pie spice: nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves. Caramel malt sneaks in between.
Taste: Grainy, toasty caramel malt base, fruity sweetness with a slight kick of earthy, bitter hops and alcoholic heat, before the near cloying pie spice takes over.
Mouthfeel: Medium body and moderate carbonation.
Overall: Heavy handed pie spice delivers big pumpkin notes, but obscures most of the underlying beer and its potent ABV.

A: Pours a murky brown/amber color. Almost no head forms, except for a tiny cap on an aggressive pour. Which disappears in a second with no lace.
S: Faint, nondescript spice. About as lifeless and neutral aroma that I have come across. I would say I was impressed with how mundane this is, but that is the wrong kind of impression I want.
T: Again, faint and nondescript spice. Lightly sweet, and can actually taste more fizzy carbonation than anything else.
M/O: A light body that is over carbonated. Prickly and fizzy on the tongue. Just blah and lifeless. Something that is not very well made, and no reason I would care to come back to this.
For an "Imperial" anything, this is incredibly docile and nondescript. No body, and no character what so ever outside the faint generic spice. As mundane and inoffensive as just about anything I have had.

Deep amber in color and cloudy with no head and minimal lacing.
Nose is sweet with a mixture of cinnamon, and nutmeg that ends up smelling like bubble gum on a quick sniff.
Taste is sweet throughout with predominantly nutmeg and a mild vegetative quality coming through and cinnamon on the finish.
Mouthful is medium and somewhat smooth. Carbonation is average. Finish is semi sweet.
A very drinkable beer but the pumpkin is really lacking.
