Uinta Oak Jacked Imperial Pumpkin

Trees are becoming more barren than full, the sun sets much earlier in the day, and I have thought about turning on the heat in my apartment maybe 3 times. Fall is upon us, and it's time to get cozy with some boozy beer.

BUT FIRST! We need a carved pumpkin or two for a good picture. 
These should do the trick...




BG Poured from a 750ml cork & cage bottle into a stemmed tulip, 10.31% ABV (get it?), Bottled On 10/07/14, Aged in Oak Barrells

A Deep brown in color with a ruby hue. Two fingers of cream-colored head leave behind sticky fingers of lace.

A Lots of pumpkin spice, booze, grassy hops, pie crust, ginger, caramel malt, toasted oats, nothing sweet on the nose

T There’s no hiding the booze here! A balanced dose of piney hops and sweet caramel malt prep your palate for the following boom of boozy warmth that blankets the tongue. Vanilla, pumpkin flesh, brown sugar, dark fruit, and a touch of oak are all rockin the party.

M Creamy, very sticky and chewy, heavy body, medium carbonation

A Alcoholic warmth stretches from the tongue all the way down to the stomach. Spices, sweet malt

C It’s like shooting a tiny whiskey filled pumpkin from a cannon straight into your mouth, and the only degree of danger exists in the form of deliciousness. I really appreciate that they’re not trying to hide the alcohol, and actually use it to their advantage. There’s a ton of flavor here, and it’ll overwhelm you if you’re not prepared. I also appreciate the use of hops. Most other pumpkin beer I’ve had is usually all about the sweeter, malty, sugary side of the spectrum. Not an everyday drinker, but I’d buy one at least once a season.

FP Roasted pumpkin seeds, vanilla cream pie, spaghetti alla carbonara
