With Halloween and Thanksgiving past, there’s still time to order pumpkin coffee. That way you can ‘savor’ the pumpkin flavor well into the winter months.

Here are a few of the pumpkin coffees that I tried this season:

Dunkin – Hints of spices were present, but overall it tasted fake. More chemical than pumpkin flavors.

Death Wish – As the label says, very strong coffee. Reasonably good pumpkin flavor.

Black Rifle – Very good pumpkin flavor, and a smooth brew – not harsh at all. This is my favorite!

Jose’s – Nice pumpkin coffee for the price. This is the coffee that will get me through the winter.

Overall, I like pumpkin coffee any time of year!

October is ‘pumpkin everything’ month. In this post, I will be sharing my pumpkin beer taste test with you.

I have 6 beers to review, so here we go. These are not in any particular order.

Uinta Pumpkin Ale, 5.0% ABV

I’ve had this beer from Utah for 3 years in a row. It has always had a nice pumpkin spice flavor. This year however, it seemed light on the spice content. Good, but not as good as previous years.

Southern Tier Warlock Imperial Pumpkin Stout, 8.6% ABV

This was my ‘first ever’ pumpkin stout. It was very flavorful, but not much pumpkin taste. It had more of a caramel note, with a hint of sweetness. I like it, but not as much as the lighter pumpkin beers. Careful, this is potent! After a couple of these you will be flying on your broom.

Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale, 6.7% ABV

I’ve had this pumpkin beer for several fall seasons. Always consistently good, with excellent pumpkin spice flavors. It’s brewed in Washington state. If you are visiting Washington in the fall, be sure to get this on tap. It’s even better!

Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale, 6.0% ABV

The original pumpkin beer. This has been one of my favorite pumpkin beers for over 30 years. It’s hard to beat its pumpkin spice flavor! Unfortunately, after 30 years, the California brewery closed its doors this year. Not sure if it will be brewed after 2022.

New Belgium Atomic Pumpkin, 6.4% ABV

This is a different twist on pumpkin beer. Brewed in Colorado, they added a bit of ‘heat’ to the mix. I like the heat. However, not much pumpkin flavor.

Left Hand Pumpkin Spice Latte Nitro, 7.0% ABV

This was my first year trying this pumpkin beer. I was doubtful, but it surprised me. It’s a nitro beer, so when poured, it produces a beautiful fall-color cascade. Like the cascade when a Guinness is poured.

This beer has a nice, creamy pumpkin spice flavor. I will be buying this again.

My favorites in order:

1. Elysian Pumpkin Ale
2. Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale
3. Left Hand Pumpkin Spice Nitro
4. Uinta Pumpkin Ale
5. New Belgium Atomic Pumpkin
6. Southern Tier Imperial Pumpkin

I guess I will just have to buy these 6 beers again next year. I want to ensure that they maintain their brewing consistency. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it!
