22 oz bottle pour, shared. Thanks Brent for sharing! Pours a really dark brown with a thin patchy head. Thick body, smooth flavor. Vanilla, pumpkin and spice flavor. Easy drinking. Solid pumpkin here.

Bottle:   Ruby colored, moderate frothy tannish head, spotty lacing.   Smells like sweet buttered
rum on the nose, with very light spices.   Surprised its Bourbon.   Does seem more Bourbon like on the
tongue.   Body is amiss, not a lot of chewy caramel like flavors.   Lightly spiced, well moderate, with
soft Bourbon notes, but it finishes too quick.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Soft spices linger, with
very little caramel malt backing.   Smells great, but doesnt really live up to the aroma.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Barreras (1324) - Diamond Bar, California, USA - OCT 4, 2015
Pours a dark mahogany color with a ruby red hue. Aroma is of nutmeg, and spice. Flavor is a good mixture of pumpkin, bourbon, and thanksgiving spice. The alcohol content is hidden well, and an aftertaste of molasses that quickly disappeared leaving a dry palate.

Aroma is pumpkin bread, spices and a hint of funk. The flavor is pumpkin bread, fruit/berries, malts, mild sweetness and a slight sour/funk in the finish.

Bomber shared that poured a dark brown with mahogany hues. Does have an oily lacing. Aroma upfront is pumpkin spices of clove and nutmeg and maybe allspice. Nice pumpkin and bourbon notes as well. The flavor is pretty darn good you get pumpkin and bourbon and oak right up front. Followed by the spice with warms with the bourbon. Subtle flavors that blend together. A new favorite in the pumpkin beers.

For me, it is massively positive when you take the first sip of a pumpkin beer and so: "oh...this is pretty good!" Clove, all spice and slight nutmeg. Dark mahogany with garnet highlights and full, sustined khaki and creamy head. Taste is typical pumpkin spice. I wish people would just call this style "pumpkin spice ale" instead of pumpkin ale. Not much from the barrel.

Orange brown pour. Malty spice aroma. Taste has a hint of pumpkin. Not a style I am going to look for.

Brown in appearance. Aromas of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices. Tastes of pumpkin, cinnamon, cherries, Burbon and other spices. the Burbon and cherries are very prominent on the first taste with the pumpkin.

Poured from a bomber today. A: Deep and rich pumpkin pie. The brown sugar and vanilla really stand out. A: 1 finger head fades to a nice layer of fluff. Hazy dark red body. T: Pumpkin pie with lots of brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla dominate. Bourbon, oak, and cream are subtle. P: Medium mouthfeel. Its a little syrupy, which I like. O: Its not an in your face PUMPKIN!!! beer. Rather, its a somewhat subdued but balanced pumpkin ale with a bourbon kick.

9/23/15. 22oz bomber from Five Points. Why do these all have such stupid names? I basically hate this brewery. Anyway. Brown pour with a HUGE khaki head, had to wait and repour to fill my glass. Surprisingly pleasant aroma... I was ready to hate this. Light whiskey plays with vanilla, some cream, caramel, cinnamon, not just overwhelming fake pie spice and nutmeg. Pleasant flavor, creamy, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin, light pie spices, more vanilla. Surprised how not awful this is.
