    I'd Recommend Grand Canyon Brewing Company's Pumpkin Springs Porter fantastic pumpkin spice flavor with solid porter it wraps around

    Very underrated. Do you know if it is being released again this year?

    Maybe it just hasn't had a chance to mellow out a bit as it was just released, but does anyone else think Warlock is a little too sweet this year? Still delicious, but pretty sweet.

    Schlafly has a great pumpkin stout... not sure if it was a tap room one-off or it is is distributed. I only tried it once when I was on a work trip to st louis - I have never seen it bottled anywhere.

    According to this, that Schlafly stout is "retired" and only draft....never made it to OH anyway!

    Perhaps ST accidently mixed some Pumking in with the Warlock!

    I love Warlock, the "King....not so much.....way too sweet for my tastes

    I'd like to find a pumpkin stout that tasted like a stout. Warlock had way too much pumpkin flavor

    Another vote for Crown Valley Pumpkin Smash. It is outstanding. This year's version is out in stores in Missouri at least. Picked up a couple bottles of Warlock last night. Looking forward to giving it a try.

    Picked up 2 bottles of this. Their imperial beers they've been doing have been great so far.

    That isn't a porter or a stout.

    If you ever get ahold of any, make sure to age it for at least a year. Way too much spice presence when fresh.

    I really enjoyed Warlock, more so than Pumking.

    I had 'Pumkpin Tzar' recently and it was decent. It did have a chili kick, if you don't mind that sort of thing. The pumpkin takes a back seat on this one when compared to Warlock.

    I bought a few crown valleys when I went to N.O. last T-giving. I will buy a case this year.

    I came back from North Carolina last weekend, and bought a 4 pk of the Crown Valley Pumpkin Smash Stout.....it is incredible, so I called my daughter, who is attending Grad School at UNC Chapel Hill, and she picked up a case of this for me!
    I am a very happy Pumpkin beer man! Easily one of the best pumpkin beers I have had for several years, and I have had a lot! Seek it out if you can....it is amazing!
