Imperial Pumpkin Ale
Review from notes taken 8/7/10 On tap at Als of Hampden. Pours a clear amber color with a finger of tan head that retains fairly decent and sticks in fine patches about the glass. The aroma is full of a scent that is very autumn air freshener-like. Spices are evident like cinnamon, nutmeg and some light caramel maltiness. The taste of this brew is drying with a spiced flavor that exaggerates the dryness that just clings to the tongue. Flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel malt that for a moment seems a bit sweet before turning dry into the finish. This is a medium bodied brew that is moderately carbonated. This isn't my favorite style of beer but I still keep trying them since it's that time of the year.
