    Was I right when I said "It's tastes like PUMPKIN, not Pumpkin Pie"?

    Krunkin Pumpkin was my first real experience with Pumpkin beers and I enjoyed it. It wasn't something that blew me away but I did enjoy the flavor profile and the spice notes. I still have a bottle left over so I can do a side by side comparison with some Pumkinator when I get some.

    Also to really get the flavor out of it - You need to let it warm up a little bit.

    I thought it was pretty good and with the belgium yeast a different style of pumpkin ale. Was not my favorite but I would buy one or two each year if I ran across it. I would not run around town hunting it down though.

    Solid local Pumpkin ale but nothing that blew my doors off.

    I wonder how well this bad boy will age. Any thoughts?

    In general pumpkin ales really are not good candidates for ageing because you start to lose the spices. I saw a video with Karbach and they recomended drinking it fresh. With that said the base beer may age nicely if you don't mind losing some of the spice.

    My thoughts exactly. A heavy spiced beer will mellow but a balanced beer will fade.
