    Southern tier warlock.

    Sour route- Jolly Pumpkin La Parcela, Almanac Dark pumpkin sour.

    These three win the pumpkin beer battle for me.

    Also its a porter. More on the brown side of color. And not heavy on cinnamon/sugar. It was hearty and roasty

    Right on - these are big, complex, boozy treats. Got a Rumpkin aging, looking forward to seeing how it does this fall after sitting for a year

    I'll echo all the Warlock suggestions here and also throw in a rec for Uinta's Oak Jacked.

    Milwaukee Brewing Co. makes a sweet potato porter called Sasquatch that I think is really good....may be worth checking out

    So as a poo umpkin beer fan in CO looking for full bodied pumkin beers avery rumpkin and pump [ky] n should be at the top of your list. Also check out southern tier warlock if we get it again this year. Lastly, elysian dark o the moon and great pumpkin are also easy to find locally. Also check out sam adams fat jack. I have seen all of the beers on shelves on the south side of town with the exception of the avery releases.

    You'd probably have to trade for it, but my favorite BY FAR is Cigar City's Good Gourd.

    Big fan of Stevens point Whole Hog Pumpkin. If you are looking for something darker, then I agree with one of the post below: Epic Fermentation without Representation. It's a nice Pumpkin Porter. Warlock is solid as I think it's better than its counterpart Pumking. Last but not least, Elysian, Seattle based brewery, has solid pumpkin beers, The Great Pumpkin and Punkuccino is really good as well.

    Saint Arnold Pumpkinator. It usually comes out mid-October (what an idea). You'll need a TX buddy, though.

    Southern Tier's Warlock is a nice dark pumpkin imperial stout that just might scratch your dark pumpkin beer itch.

    Southern Tier's Warlock and Crown Valley's Imperial Pumpkin Smash Stout. Dark 'n' delicious; they'll have you looking forward to pumpkin beer season ... especially the Smash. Just ask @WesMantooth .

    (1) Take bottle of BCBS/KBS/FIS/Ten Fidy
    (2) Toss half in French Press w/Fresh Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Ginger, & Allspice (and pumpkin, if you dig)
    (3) Wait 15 Minutes
    (4) Strain & Blend with remaining half of beer.
