Dogfish Head Brewery
Punkin Ale
7% ABV
This is brew is as illusive as the Loch Ness Monster and the Yeti...but I caught and drank it before you tucked your kids in bed!
After chasing this beer for the past month I was scared to open it for the fear of disappointment. Thank the dear beer gods I was not left holding a bottle and asking...why...why me! It was all that I wished for and then a little extra!
This full-bodied brown ale (BTW, I love the Indian Brown Ale too) has organic brown sugar and brewed with pumpkin meat. Even with a 7% ABV it was incredibly smooth, mildly spicy, and had hint of pumpkin in the background. I think if you are looking for a seasonal beer without the overwhelming pumpkin flavor or spiciness of nutmeg or cinnamon go with Dogfish Head Punkin.
Cheers!
