There's no need to wait till Halloween or Thanksgiving for your first taste of pumpkin. Beer shelves are stocked with that fleeting fall delicacy, pumpkin beers. From nutmeg-spiked ales to stouts stuffed with jack-o'-lantern flesh, it's downright frightening how delicious pumpkin beers can be.

New Holland Ichabod:
Taking its cues from the headless horseman, Michigan-based New Holland's pumpkin seasonal is a malty amber brew made with fresh pumpkin, cinnamon and a sprinkling of nutmeg. Ichabod smells like mom's fresh-baked pumpkin pie, with reasonably balanced flavors and a nice, smooth mouthfeel that makes the beer easy on the tongue.

Rock Art Imperial Spruce Stout:

Hailing from Vermont, this burly stout is brewed with pumpkin and loads of spruce tips, which contribute a bit of bitterness and forest-pine flavor -- this ain't liquid pumpkin pie. Spruce is a slow drinker, suitable for sipping on its own to warm your stomach on a chilly fall eve, or as an accompaniment to a meaty stew.
