Yes, it's pumpkin ale season, and there doesn't really seem to be too much out there this year that i haven't tried or written about before, though i did get a delightfully strong brew from a new brewery in Texas this weekend. The Full Grown Jack Pumpkin Spiced Imperial Stout from
TUPPS Brewery in McKinney, Texas is a 12.1% ABV punch to the face. The beer pours a dark black with minimal head and smells of pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, malts, and a little booze. The flavor is a robust mix of pumpkin and pumpkin spices with some notes of vanilla and liquorice that really start to stand out as the beer sits at room temperature. It's complex, full-bodied, and definitely on the heavy side. Enjoy for sure, but drink with caution.
