Beer: Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale
Style: Pumpkin Ale
ABV: 8.0%
Brewed by: Weyerbacher Brewing Co. / Easton, Pennsylvannia
Ami Grade: A-
- Tasting notes -
Appearance: dark, deep amber color with a nice foaming head that retains well after the inital pour. Also noticed some sediment during slow pour.
Smell: pumpkin pie in a bottle! Definitely nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon with carmel notes.
Taste: Yes, pumpkin pie in a bottle. I got a nice, chewy mouth full of pumpkin up front, followed by a complex combo of spices, nuts and caramel malt with a hint of hops to round it out. Not too sweet, not at all bitter (keep in mind I love sweet). You'd expect to be knocked over the head with alcohol at this high of an ABV but it's hidden nicely until the very end where it gives you a little nibble. Perfect balance of pumpkin and beer.
Overall: Probably one of my new favorite Pumpkin Ales
Notes: Available August - November. Purchased at Whole Foods Bowery, $11.99 for a 4-pack
