Tonight's beer: Flying Dog The Fear
Dark toast, hints of roast—chocolate and coffee; pumpkin impressions woven throughout. Spicy-grassy-earthy bitterness a background tapestry. Some caramel, a flicker of maple and/or molasses around the edges. Pretty darkly bitter to start, with a momentary sweetness around the middle; bitter again and pretty dry by the finish.
Medium-bodied, decently carbonated. A little sticky, but mostly clean, cleansing, and refreshing. Maybe a dim boozy glow, but otherwise no hint of the 9% ABV.
A delicious—and deliciously dark—pumpkin beer. Not particularly sweet: It's neither a pumpkin pie nor a pumpkin bread, and one of the few pumpkin beers I've had that's not basically a dessert beer. Intense and complex, integrated and balanced. Another superb beer from Flying Dog. This might be a pumpkin beer for people as don't like pumpkin beers; I can't think of another one I've had that's this dark and not a stout.
