A quick note for all of you living in the Denver metro area or planning a visit; Avery up in Boulder just tapped an Imperial Pumpkin ale aged in rum barrels.
Rumpkin Stats:
13.2% ABV
15 IBU
18 SRM
This brew is made with pumpkin puree and a blend of five spices, aged in Gosling's Rum barrels for six months. It is available only at the tap room in Boulder and at the Cambridge Brewing Company Great Pumpkin Festival (Cambridge, MA) and at the Elysian Brewing Great Pumpkin Beer Festival (Elysian Capitol Hill, Seattle WA).
I was there last night for the tapping and this brew is amazing, way powerful sweet fresh pumpkin pie in a glass (and of course a huge warming factor from the extreme alcohol content). I am not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, but this one has made me a believer in the Great Pumpkin!
