    If you can get it, try and sample some of the Crown Valley Imperial Pumpkin stout.....it is worth seeking out! Blows Warlock out of the pumpkin / water, IMO! Haha.....

    I like Alaskan Pumpkin Porter. I taste more pumpkin in that beer than most standard pumpkin ales. Maybe the dark malt does a better job showcasing the pumpkin flavor. I dunno.

    I would highly recommend Almanac Heirloom Pumpkin Barleywine (Brandy Barrel aged). It's fantastic!!! Cheers!

    I haven't tried it myself, but Pumking and FBS is supposed to be a really good combination.

    Pumking and Left Hand Milk Stout is amazing, I tried Warlock and don't like it nearly as much. Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout and Imperial Pumpkin Stout are both great as well.

    Would love to get some Almanac brews; heard this one was great.....no distro in Ohio though, sadly!

    Sent an email to Fred @ Hoppin' Frog recently (in my hometown here of Akron), suggesting they do a BORIS Pumpkin Stout.....that would be awesome!

    I assume you're describing the regular version, which I feel the same way about. The imperial stout is fantastic and definitely worth a try and it's the best dark pumpkin beer I've had. Slightly off topic but I found a 2012(?) hiding in my cellar this month. Anyone had luck aging these? I've done so with pumpking and liked the result.

    Yep....referring to the regular Fishermen's Pumpkin Stout, not the Imperial version....which is great!

    I have cellared many higher ABV pumpkin brews with great success.......one from 2012 should still be drinking great!

    It is indeed....a standout from all the 2013 new pumpkin brews.....but NOT a Pumpkin stout or porter
