Year of New Beer: Rumpkin, Avery Brewing (CO)

Written By: Dion on 10/27/2014

Syrupy sweet nose is loaded cinnamon, nutmeg, molasses, and booze...tons of booze. On the tongue, the rum barrel aging is evident in spades as the alcohol heat tries valiantly to overcome the pumpkin bread sweetness. Hints of oak, vanilla, and a Bananas Foster-esque finish. If you'd like to approximate this beer, simply locate a loaf of pumpkin bread at your family Thanksgiving spread and pour a bottle of rum over it. Sweet, heavy, boozy, and delicious.
