Pumpkin Beer Recipe

Does anyone have a good one? I just bottled my first attempt and I have to say it tasted great. Now to wait for the bottling time But it will be ready for Thanksgiving!

This is the recipe I used
Pumpkin Ale

7 lbs. light malt extract
1/2 lb crystal malt 40 L
1/2 lb Munich malt
1/4 lb toasted malt

1 oz Galena hops (at first boil)
1/2 oz Mt. Hood (w/ 25 min left)
1 oz Tettnang (w/ 5 min left)

1 pkg Witbread ale yeast

1.5 tsp Nutmeg
1.5 tsp Allspice
..5 tsp Cinnamon
1 whole clove

5 lbs "sugar/cooking" pumpkin (cut into fourths, scoop out seed & stuff,
bake
on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes at 450 to soften, peel, and chunk)

After 60 min boil (standard beer process) remove kettle from heat and add
cooked pumpkin. Let steep with cover on for 20 minutes. Strain pumpkin from
kettle and sparge in fermenter with 4 gallons of cold water.
Ferment 7-10 days.
Bottle and condition 7-10 days

I have only now noticed this post. Being an amateur to mildly experienced homebrewer myself, I posted your recipe over at the homebrew forum I'm a member of and asked for some helpful guidance.

Link here.

At first glance, I'd say you've made some fine beer.
