Tonight's beer: Cape Ann Brewery Fisherman's Imperial Pumpkin Stout (2010)


Cape Ann Brewery Fisherman's Imperial Pumpkin Stout (2010)


Dark bread and roasty—chocolate and coffee—with some smoke, earth, ash, and grass. Distant carmael and dried/candied dark fruits. Pumpkins and spices, blending in.

Kinda dense, syrupy, viscous, mildly-carbonated. A little chewy. Some gentle, smooth, subtle heat. Nicely drying on finish.

Oh! My! Gawd! So smooth. So complex. So intense. Pumpkin is present but subdued relative to a more recent bottling. This heer has aged astonishingly well. Terrifyingly drinkable, with the gentlest touch of alcohol. Amazing.
