Just adding the pie spices to it doesn't make it a pumpkin brew. Chop some up, cook it a bit and throw it in. I'm all in favor of adding some extra spices and flavorables into the wort. You never know until you try it. Be bold! IMO, I think you must add real pumpkins to a pumpkin ale. Just adding the pie spices to it doesn’t make it a pumpkin brew.

I think if they are used in moderate quantities there would be some balance in either a Porter or a Stout, but probably not in a lighter beer. I've used both ingredients in a Jaggery Ale, which resembles a Porter.

I like the Rogue chocolate stoudt (http://www.anconaswine.com/sku13866.html) but have not had the combo you speak of. 3. Cardamom sounds interesting. I've had ginger beer before but never a beer with ginger in it that I know of. 4. sure, beer and chips with guacamole dip. 1.Pumpkin needs some pumpkin for flavor though I think like pumpkin pie squash may be a better answer.
