Willoughby Brewing Company Nightmare on Erie St. Pumpkin Ale

Here is what the Brewer Says:  An absolute fall classic!  this year we "hacked and slashed" 225lbs of locally grown pumpkins to bring you our ever popular and always delicious pumpkin ale.  Creamy with a medium body and subtle hints of pumpkin spice, this beer has been know to be called "pumpkin pie in a glass!"

My Thoughts: This brew poured a dark and cloudy brown in color with a slight white head.  The smell to me was just like pumpkin pie.  I smelled cinnamon, nutmeg and of course lots of pumpkin and pumpkin spice.   The smell carried right over to the flavor.  Those same cinnamon , nutmeg and pumpkin flavors were with you from start to finish with this brew.  There was a mild sweet roasted malt characteristic along with a slight bitterness at the end.   The mouthfeel was a little thicker and the carbonation was average.  I really enjoyed this pumpkin ale and I'd get it again if it were not going out of season right now!
