Imperial Pumpkin Ale
This brew pours a deep reddish-copper color with an average-sized white head. The aroma a mix of spice (nutmeg, clove, cinnamon) and alcohol. Behind the initial smells, theres also some lightly roasted malt, caramel, and pumpkin. The taste is strong with spice and a strong hop bitterness, mingling with pumpkin and spice. Its not bad really, and is a lot more intense than most pumpkin beers. Lots of clove, which seems to fit the beer appropriately. The alcohol has a little warming quality after a while. Its full bodied, and quite drinkable. The pumpkin quality could be stronger, but overall I was impressed.
