One of the last of this year’s pumpkin offerings. Often I give them a year to mature, but this one is earmarked for early retirement.

Southern Tier Brewing Co Maple Warlock Imperial Pumpkin Stout

Brown-black dark Chocolate color. Palm marrow, cappuccino head. The Wedge lacing holds the wall until Timelapse roadkill rumble reduces to spotted beetle back. Maple nose shows chocolate, then Turkish coffee and coffee liqueur and s’mores. Palate is burnt caramel, black strap molasses, baking chocolate, chicory, and dried violets. Touch of graphite. Finish is sweet maple syrup and ginger.

Timber Ales ‘Fields of Fall’ imperial Stout

Nearly headless, dark cocoa pate with rapid bubble breakdown. Candlewax serpents dripping lacings over oily trails leave one-eyed bunny trace. Solid black across and through. Glass stainer. Nose of roasted pumpkin, roasted coffee, black strap molasses, dark cocoa nibs, roasted chestnut. Heavy mouthfeel mimics the molasses smell, and gives toffee and Turkish coffee impressions. Initial taste bitters quickly, but subsequent tastes are coated in treacle. Pumpkin and spice give this a perceptively plump middle. The finish is forever. Mwahahaha!
