Re: Favorite beer of choice?
Was able to snag several bottles of Terrapin Imperial Pumpkin Pie porter last night! It is an extremely limited release with only 10,000 bottles or something like that hitting shelves. Anyway, cracked one last night and it was quite enjoyable. I thought the pumpkin and spices were very subtle, which allowed the base beer to really shine through without being overwhelmed. Not an epic beer by any means, but well worth the $10.99 price tag and I'd encourage anyone that likes pumpkin ales to give it try if you can find it.
Also, picked up a bottle of Blue Mountain Spooky last night. It's a pumpkin ale aged in bourbon barrels with cocoa nibs. I haven't been a fan of Blue Mountain's barrel aging program in the past, but that was several years ago, and hopefully they have improved at this point. Probably the best barrel aged pumpkin ale I've had in Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin. It's supposed to hit shelves soon in all markets and this is definitely one to be on the lookout for if you like the taste of pumpkin pie chased down with a bottle of Makers Mark, lol.
Enjoy,
Scott
