Tonight's beer: Dogfish Head Punkin
Brown sugar and maple syrup, some pale bread and some caramel. Solid pumpkin presence a step back, maybe. Some woody-earthy spices: nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger; a flicker of peaty-grassy bitterness into the aftertaste of what is otherwise a predominantly sweet beer.
Pretty thick, kinda sticky and chewy, gently carbonated. Coating and viscous. Manages a little bit of something like refreshing, but mostly filling and satisfying. A slight shift to drying toward the end of a long finish.
A delicious pumpkin beer, gently spiced—this is no cookie of a beer, nor a pie. Intense and complex, nicely integrated and balanced. Excellent in the typical pumpkin beer use as a dessert beer. Nicely drinkable. Another beer that I buy whenever I see it. It is yum.
