Tonight's beer: Tröegs Master of Pumpkins
Starts with pumpkins and brown sugar, layered densely with baking spice: cloves and ginger and allspice and cinnamon; hints of vanilla and nutmeg woven in. Bread and toast in the substructure. Dries out quickly and thoroughly, from a start that's really not as sweet as it might seem from the flavor-notes. Earthy-peaty bitterness emerges around the finish, with hints of smoke and peat.
Medium-bodied, with lots of fine carbonation. some syrupy stickiness, eventually drying and tending toward refreshing. Maybe a trace of boozy prickle.
Holy crap, this is a delicious beer. Crazily intense and deliriously complex, wonderfully well-balanced and integrated. Scarily drinkable, supple and graceful. I'd heard about this beer last year, maybe the year before that, and I've been looking for it since. I'm glad I found it.
