    Post your favorite pumpkin beers! And why. Tis the season. well....soon. even if they're already out. My favorite are....

    Elysian Punkaccino.- havin one right now. Creamy thick mouthfeel. Minimal but theres plenty of all spice. Nice pumpkin flavor and subtle coffee. Anyone's whos had a WaWa pumpkin.spice coffee and enjoyed it....this is it right here. It hits everything for me. Pie spices, pumpkin roastyness. Sweet coffee.

    Ballast point pumpkin down- great roasted pumpkin. Dark fruit. Molasses. Great balance. Nice and dry

    Having a Warlock right now. Might very well be my favorite smelling beer of all time. The taste is fantastic as well as the body. Just a great all-around beer.

    Saint Arnold pumpkinator is the best I've ever had, a pumpkin imperial stout loaded with spices and pumpkin flavor. Williamsburg alewerks and schlafly are two other world class contenders. I felt that good gourd was overly sweet

    I've had two pumpkin beers and my favorite is Anderson Valley Brewing Company's Fall Hornin, but I am looking forward to trying more pumpkin beers this fall.

    Warlock is a must each year.
    I also like Pumking with a year or two age on it.
    This year I have a couple of new Elysians and a barrel aged Pumking to try so I am excited for that.

    For me, DFH Punkin' was the winner last year. I also enjoy Schlafly Pumpkin and ST Pumking.

    ST Warlock was decent enough last year, but I think I'd rather opt for a Pumking if given the choice between the two.

    Schlafly - Pumpkin. Not too much spice, not too much pumpkin, well balanced, not in your face, unobtrusive, well hidden ABV, just all around enjoyable year after year.

    However, have a bottle sitting in my cellar right now with a year on it and looking forward to cracking it: Neshaminy Creek - Bourbon Barrel Aged Punkless Dunkel.

    Schlafly Pumpkin, Alewerks Pumpkin,and Pumking (esp. on draft) still holds a place in my heart.
