Nothing says fall better than this gnarly, spiced-up brown ale. We added 250 pounds of roasted knucklehead pumpkin along with traditional fall spices to this seasonal ale. Not your average knucklehead's ale!

T-again cooked pumpkins , plus a little sweetness , very little , dryness quick to follow on the swallow
MF-ok/good carbonation , medium body

650ml bottle, one of the later pumpkin ales to make it to market as this particular season starts to get a bit long in the tooth. Also, one of the more amateur examples that I've seen this year of pumpkin caricatures depicted on the label.
This beer pours a clear, dark bronzed amber hue, with two fingers of tightly foamy and mostly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some cannonball splash aftereffect lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells of spicy ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, a hearty vegetal gourd fleshiness, some bready, somewhat pie crust adjacent toasted caramel malt, and tame earthy and leafy hops. The taste is a sort of flip-flop of the aroma - big, stringy pumpkin mush, more bready caramel malt, a touch of toffee, a generally subdued nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon spiciness, and rather innocuous earthy and weedy hops.
The bubbles are pretty understated, and hardly detectable at times, the body a pleasantly hefty medium weight, and actually quite smooth, with an undeniable dessert-worthy creaminess. It finishes a bit on the sweet side, the near-fruity pumpkin and caramel malt outlasting the remains of the seasonal spice day.
Definitely more of my kind of a pumpkin ale - spiced, sure, but not at the expense of a heady, robust early October pie goodness quotient. This one, while not the most complex of its ilk, still fulfills my requirements nicely, and at a reasonable next door provincial neighbour price. That said, is this month/season almost over yet? #pumpkinbeerfatigue
