This is not the Warlock treatment of Pumking - it's exactly what you'd imagine adding coffee flavor to original Pumking would be. A welcomed variant in my opinion - I was surprised when I had a Pumpking a couple weeks ago how much I'd lost my love for it. I'd prefer a Bourbon Barrel Aged, but this variant was worth getting a growler of (Village Beer Merchant on Elmwood in Buffalo, came in on 10.4.16). The coffee convinced me to start drinking it at noon.

The coffee and the pumpkin spices really do go together nicely. Seemed like a weird combo but enjoyed so much I was sad I was finished. Will be going out for more. Worth a try.

12 oz bottle, 2020 vintage, poured into a pint glass at 40 degrees F:
L - goldenrod color with a head that quickly disappeared
S - Spices and coffee, nutmeg, vanilla
T - coffee and spice, but the spice is minimal. Vanilla
F - nice mouthfeel with minimal carbonation
O - good beer, better for me than most pumpkins because the spices are suble

Translucent bright orange, with slight white head. Looks like orange Kool-Aid with a bit of head. :)

Smells of coffee+creme, pumpkin pie filling, and a little bit of nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon .

Taste is like the aroma - essentially a cup of coffee & a slice of pumpkin pie. Thankfully, the spices are moderate, so that the pumpkin and coffee are the dominant flavors. Mild bitterness near the end balances the sweetness of the other flavors.

Feel is medium, with moderate carbonation tingle, and a slightly drying finish.

Overall, I enjoyed it. Wouldn't want it on a regular basis, and don't think I could drink more than one, but once in awhile it would be a pleasant diversion from the usual. The coffee is a nice addition. I like it better than regular Pumking.

L - Burnt orange with a ton of clarity and an offwhite head that dissipates quickly leaving behind minimal lacing
S - Lots of roasted coffee on the nose with a nutty and earthy profile along with notes of original pumking - cinnamon, pumpkin, nutmeg, allspice.
T - Follows the nose with a dominating presence of roasted coffee with a smoky, earthy, and nutty flavor profile along with hints of dark chocolate and caramel followed by original pumking with pumpkin notes along with fall spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and brown sugar
F - Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O - A very complex, but elevated flavor profile from original pumking. The earthy quality of the roasted coffee really stands out in this one.

Pours a fairly clear medium yellow color, appropriate head. Aroma is similar to the original Pumking with the addition of the faint aroma of coffee. Flavor starts off as OG Pumking; lots of pumpkin and pie spices. Coffee flavor enters in the middle, very gently, but dominated the finish, ending with a nice bitter espresso flavor. Slightly over carbonated. Overall a nice Pumking variant, glad I tried it, would drink again, not sure if I would buy another 4-pack... maybe.

Pumking but with more depth. Coffee adds flavor, good contrast.

Regular Pumking is my favorite pumpkin beer, and this is the first time I ran into a variant despite the facts that they’re are many of them. With any luck, this will be better than Elysian’s Punkuccino

Pours a cloudy copper orange with a finger of white head that fades to a cap quickly and leaves no lacing

Interesting nose here, lots of espresso, but it’s set off by sweet vanilla, caramel, earthy pie spice, and meaty pumpkin. Minor notes of dark bread and baker’s chocolate. Balanced but decadent

The taste is a bit of a letdown from the nose but it’s still good. On the front end, this is coffee dominant with some vanilla to balance it out. The swallow brings more spice and a touch of roasted pumpkin seeds

For the abv, this has a surprisingly light-medium body that pairs woth gentle tingly carbonation that makes for a smooth drink. Finishes just short of dry

This one was kind of all over the place but I still liked it. It’s an interesting spin on the base beer, but I still much prefer the OG
