We wondered what would happen if a monstrous pumpkin ale, plump full of spicy gourdiness, were aged in fine fresh rum barrels to add suggestions of delicate oak and candied molasses. Rumpkin is what happened! This first member of the Annual Barrel-Aged Series was brewed with roasted pumpkins from a local Boulder County farm, and spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.

Smells like liquid pumpkin pie with a rum chaser. Texture’s nice as well, thick and full without much warmth (considering the ABV). But the flavor...I hate hate hate this beer. Just a pummeling onslaught of cloying sweetness coupled with overbearing nutmeg and cinnamon, finishing with waves of clinging saccharine awfulness. One sip and I’m done. Undrinkable.

Bottle at home, bought in San Diego, in 2017. Consumed 1st November 18. Pours a light dirty orange. Aroma is boozy, pumpkin, Gozling Rum, dark and stormy, ginger, spice. Taste is ginger, rum, booze, spice, it's huge, like a beer, Dark and Stormy, ginger wine, lots of heat. Good fun for Hallowen

Draft at brewpub, dark copper in small snifter. Rum pumpkin spice aroma, boozy sweet malt taste, slow finish. Not harsh given the outrageous ABV.

Flaska från SB. Bärnstrnsfärgad, klar utan skum. Stor doft med mycket pumpkinpie, med kanel, kandisocker, torkade päron, punchpralin, vitt portvin, gula russin, lite glöggstuk fast ändå hyfsat balanserat. Annorlunda och gott.

On tap at 4th Avenue Pub, Brooklyn. Pours hazy dark orange with small white head. Lots of pumpkin, spicy, caramel, some rum, malty. Sweet. Soft carbonation. Full bodied. Warming, no unpleasant alcohol. Very nice, fantastic for ABV. Extreme, but for sure the best pumpkin I've tried.

17%, tastes like an 8% pumpkin ale, dangerous stuff and damn smooth. Rum notes throughout and on the back but not boozy. Pumpkin upfront.
