Punkin Ale (2014)

Pumpkin / Yam Beer

A full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin and brown sugar. We brew our Punkin Ale with pumpkin meat, brown sugar and spices. As the season cools, this is the perfect beer to warm up with. Punkin Ale is named after the seriously off-centered southern Delaware extravaganza Punkin Chunkin (check out some of these Discovery Channel videos of Punkin Chunkin, you gotta see it to believe it!). In fact, Punkin Ale made its debut as it claimed first prize in the 1994 Punkin Chunkin Recipe Contest. Yes, that was a full 6 months before we even opened our doors for business!

This one aged really well. Boozy deep yammy pumpkin, still some spice. Very nice. Thanks Michael T.!

This held out well over 6 years. I guess I got lucky. Strong pumpkin spice nose. Tastes good with good spice and pumpkin flavor. Smooth finish.

The OG. No one would normally age a 7% pumpkin brown ale, but for whatever reason, Malt & Vine still had one in their cooler, so they put it on 6 years later. I was surprised that it hadn't fallen off more. Still pretty tasty, though past its best.

Digging for old.. er cellared stuff 😆 Held up better than expected. Sweeter than fresh, not too much though, still good spice. Tom Waits - Rain Dogs (1985)
