I'm not sure what kind of pumpkin pie the people on Beer Advocate eat but I've never had one that tasted quite like this. Then again, with the high alcohol content and my teetoling ways, I don't even know where the hell I am right now.

Highly oatish and graham crackery. Weak on the pumpkin spices though cinnamon is shot out of a citrus cannon right into the tongue. For such a pathetically light colored beer this one is as thick as cream as far as taste goes. Let me put some damn whipped cream on this thing and get back to you.

Back. Holy colossal St. Claus I am lit like an evil jack-o-lantern by this witch's brew! The whipped cream doesn't save it but this is about the best I've had as far as pumpkin ales go. The price is ghastly though and Southern Tier's distributors should be ashamed for taking advantage of all you pushed around beer geeks. But this is a celebration and not a soap box, so...that's right...stir the Cool Whip in with your fingers and this thing is a dessert backing you into a soda shop for good because you aren't leaving and Peter Pumpkinhead ain't ever coming to save you.
