Anderson Valley 'Pinchy Jeek Barl' Bourbon Barrel Pumpkin Ale. 7% abv. 20 IBU. Dark brown color. Thick foamy tan head with excellent retention and lacing that coats the glass throughout. Nose is heavy malt and pumpkin, with notes of bourbon and vanilla. Front taste is caramel, pumpkin, spices, with the bourbon really shining through from the back. Aftertaste is malt, spice, mild hop bitter. Medium body. Mouthfeel is creamy, rich.
This is an excellent beer, one of the best of the night, and one of the best pumpkin brews of the season. Highly recommended.
From the brewery:
"Aged for 6 months in Wild Turkey barrels, this bourbon barrel-aged pumpkin ale is pleasantly creamy with a silky body and sweet caramel flavor. The aging process imparts notes of coconut, vanilla, and oak to compliment the tang of the spices and a hint of hops, all wrapped in a smooth, round finish."
