This may be the worst pumpkin beer ever. I think taking a random beer off the shelf and adding pumpkin puree would be better.

Way to sweet, way too many spices. Cannot get through a bottle. Trying to think of a recipe I could use it in so not to waste it. If not, dumping it out.

Strong for the sake of strength, and over spiced to try to cover it.

If you’re looking for something sweet it may be for you, but it has a syrupy smell and taste that I found overpowering

I think it may have gone bad since it was bottled over 6 months ago. Found at the Wegmans pick your own and , just not right.

WAY too sweet. I don't mind the pumpkin, but it's more sugar than anything. Sorry Founders.

Too sweet for a pumpkin beer. Right up front you get the barrel and maple but where is the pumpkin spice

Good overall review… because it’s a BA Founders concoction? Hope you *love* allspice and cloves, because you’ll get a shit ton of that soaked in some boozy booziness. I generally like autumn spice forward beers, but this too much.

VERY strong, can definitely tell it’s barrel-aged. Also extremely sweet from the maple syrup. Not my style

It's like a glassful of vanilla extract with a note of porter. Not getting much pumpkin spice. Extremely sweet. If you want vanilla maple ice cream it's probably for you.

That’s a no for me dog. Off-putting smell. Maple up front that is very syrupy. The bad part is the finish. Anis seems to have made its way into the spice mixture.

I really do not enjoy this. It tastes like a syrupy scented candle. Very uninteresting barrel character and so artificial

HOLY SHIT! This is the strongest beer I’ve ever had. At 13.1% this is pretty undrinkable to me. It is way too strong for its own good. Little maple flavor and some spices. Maybe I’m a bitch but this too just too much.

Spiced rum. Very sweet. Very boozy. Reminded me of strong old ales. Not really a fan. Wish it was more of a stout in character. Ah well - worth a shot.

It's alright, but dark beer usually isn't my thing. I was hoping for a little more sweet, but did taste maple. Definitely only need one in the evening

The fall melange almost masks the bourbon flavor. The booziness comes out more after each sip. Also a tad syrupy.
