    Tried the pumpkinator. Fantastic beer. Starts off like a pumpkiny root beer and then a heavy licorice taste takes precedence. At the end there's a huge kick of imperial stout flavor. Great brew. I enjoyed my "collectible bottle".

    LOL. I felt the complete opposite. Licorice first (Jager smell), pumpkin rootbeer second.

    Its baaaaaaack.

    Got my two bottles this morning from HEB on Fountainview / Westheimer.

    Even though the ****s jacked up the price to $8.49.


    I have leads on 2 other places supposed to be getting their shipments over the next 24 hours. Its amazing what people will tell you if you are holding a cute baby.

    Most pumpkin ales suck, but I'll try one of these I suppose

    eh, $7.99 for a six pack of blue moon pumpkin ale is good enough for me.

    Um, there are plenty of local brews in Texas... where people drinks tons of... beer?

    After giving the world Coors, your state should be banned from making beer.

    no offense but st. arnolds in general is just an above average beer. nothing worth going across town to find a 6 pack unless you just believe in the hype

    St. Arnolds is ale... and it's delicious because it IS above average. The pumpkin ale is good I b:pet but not worth dealing with the hype. Worth buying if its available.

    St. Arnold's latest offerings haven't impressed me much.

    Pumpkinator is well worth it though. Crazy good.

    You do know that a "reserve" ale will go bitter. It's not wine.

    DR9 and Pumpkinator are the same thing.

    I wasn't impressed with the bottle I had that I aged for 3 months. I enjoyed my first bomber the most.

    So how long CAN you age a beer/ale? And how?

    I had this year's reserve and didn't bother hanging on to it. Tasted great without the wait. Was average priced for an ale of the quality. Did you age the pumpkinator or the reserve?
