River Horse Hippo-Lantern Imperial Pumpkin Ale

My sister bought a six pack of River Horse's pumpkin and hated it so naturally I was the beneficiary. It poured a burnt orange with a head that quickly faded. Smell was all spice, mostly nutmeg and cinnamon with a slight scent of pumpkin. Taste was spicy, again mostly nutmeg, with a real pumpkin edge to it. It finished with some hops, but also was very alcoholy. This is a very solid pumpkin ale and the fact that its 8.1% abv gives it some extra points. Definitely a contender.
