Imperial pumpkin ale brewed with pirate rum spices. Roasted butternut squash and natural maple syrup lend some Autumn charm in this warming brew.

Bottle. It pours a deep orange color with a soda pop-like fizzy head that disappears almost immediately. The aroma has some watered down maple syrup, hints of squash and spices. Mostly cinnamon. The flavor is a bit richer with strong caramel, toffee, cinnamon and ginger. Light syrup notes. The body is light considering the high ABV, and the alcohol is hot. Spices are pretty well in balance though. Needs more body and malt complexity.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy oppression color topped by a small creamy beige head. Faint toasted malt nose has a hint of cinnamon. Flavor is a amalgamation of roasted squash, cinnamon, maple syrup and herbal hops. Obvious alcohol upfront. Earthy, dark sugar comes through in middle. Bittersweet woody funk in finish. Rather unique flavors at play. Interesting and worth seeking out.

Draft at Snallygaster 2014. Poured a clear golden color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light maple syrup notes, sweet malts, very sweet - candy notes, pumpkin is light, with some cinnamon. Nutmeg, cinnamon, candied maple, and some squash notes. A touch boozy, very warming.

4 oz draft pour at ChurchKey. Clear golden brown with off-white head. Aromas of maple, candy and sweet candied fruit, pumpkin, light cinnamon. Tastes of pumpkin, cinnamon, some vegetal notes, light apple and spice. Medium body with a dry finish. Medium carbonation. Nice aroma but the taste falls a bit short for me.
