The last four beers for the challenge are, Dundee Octoberfest, (also not really a pumpkin but very nice). Jacque Au Lantern, Crown Valley Imperial Pumpkin Smash and the last, Cisco brewers Pumple Drumkin.
First let us tackle the Dundee Octoberfest. A rich hearty beer. Tangy, light and crisp, very little after taste and no bitterness. Ready to go and enjoy.
Second, Jacques Au Lantern. fuller and richer with a longer finish. Malty with just the right amount of spice for the season. I could enjoy this all year round.
The third round tonight was the Pumple Drumkin by Cisco. This has about the right amount of spice, pumpkin flavors and rich, creamy body. Easy to drink and very enjoyable. Like having pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top.
The very last offering of the challenge goes to....Crown Valley Imperial Pumpkin Smash. This stout is such a departure from the previous. What can I say. I was surprised and excited to have this. The rich dark black liquid gives off such wonderful fragrances and such a light crisp flavor. full of dark chocolate and coffee with , is that cedar? Not at all what I was expecting. To top it off ....is that pulp in there. Yes, I think it is, what an addition to the flavor. A little extra protein to go with it. Definitely the winner of the evening Maybe not to every one's desire, but something I would like to try again. Smash it up buddy..
Look at that rich dark color.
Enjoy
