Imperial Pumpkin Ale
Sample glass from tasting with northyorksammy, grub, and biegaman. Glad to have tried this alongside the Smuttynose Pumpkin, to have something to compare it to. This one was much better, although I don't think this is a style I will be getting into. Aroma is much stronger than the Smutty, very malty and sweet. Taste is pumpkin, or perhaps other Autumn squashes, and (thankfully) natural spices! Similar, but more restrained and fresh ginger and nutmeg. Mild vanilla. More pumpkin flavour throughout, and an odd perfumy element that I had trouble identifying. Aftertaste is malt and cloves. Worth a try, but maybe not a rebuy.
