Never had a "black pumpkin" but I would imagine you could take a porter/stout recipe and add the spices of a pumpkin recipe. I use 1tbs each of nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice at 15 mins left in boil. Comes out like a slice of pie in a glass. A pumpkin stout sounds awesome.

I have a recipe for a black pumpin beer, well it kinda 2 different beers same wort. But they taste very different. I named it Devils Night. I have won a few competition medals with it. It's all grain but I'm sure I can be converted. I do a 10 gallon batch and split it and use a belgian saison yeast on one and an english ale yeast on the other half. Both are good but different. I have the recipe at work. I can post it on Monday if you are interested.

I don't have the recipe but check out The Fear imperial pumpkin dark ale from Flying Dog. Link here.

I don't normally like pumpkin/spiced ales but this one is really good. You might be able to get some recipe clues from their product page.

This is a clone of Four Peaks Pumpkin Porter in AZ. I try to visit my sister in AZ around fall just to get a growler or two to drink. I have to try this clone!
