Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

So, as promised, here is the Dogfish Head Punkin Ale review:

So I wanted to review another Pumpkin Ale since it's that time of year.  The next one I wanted to write about is the Dogfish Head Punkin Ale.  This ale is a brown ale brewed with real pumpkin, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Appearance: (The picture above is not mine, I am meaning to import my pic). The color is very clear, light to medium amber.  There was no head that formed on the pint glass.

Aroma:  The nose had a slight brown sugar hint at first, then a faint whiskey-ish smell, then cinnamon, and fading into the aroma of pumpkin.

Taste:  First a smooth, creamy texture turning into the taste of pumpkin, then maybe a brown sugar flavor, finishing with the taste of cinnamon on the back end drawing me back in for another drink.

Drinkability:  Even though it's a 7% beer, the alcohol is masked enough to make this one very drinkable in my opinion.

Overall:  A very drinkable high-gravity pumpkin ale.  Has more of a spice finish than a pumpkin finish, but there's nothing wrong with that...depends on how much you want of the pumpkin flavor.   The Schlafly one had more of the pumpkin going on and a fuller flavor.  This one is nice, but a little lighter in pumpkin flavor compared to the Schlafly.  It has a nice fall spiciness to it though  I would definitely drink again.
