Spooky Tooth Imperial Pumpkin
Fat Head's Brewery & Saloon

 

 

12oz canned xx/xx/22 (smudged date) poured into a tulip glass at fridge temp 9% ABV 22 IBU. The beer pours opaque medium amber in color with khaki colored head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of bubbles. Minimal lacing. The aroma is sweet malt and muted pumpkin pie spice. The taste is semisweet pumpkin pie filling complete with the normal spicing. Minimal bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation and a semi dry finish. The 9% ABV is well hidden. Overall, ok for a pumpkin beer...

 

Poured into a goblet: color is amber, transparent, head is very light tan and presents 1/2 inch thick and then dissipate to thing ring, some lacing.

Smell is lightly spiced: notes cinnamon, clove, ginger, light toast, bread, no booziness.

Taste is balanced spice, malt, and strength: spice notes of cinnamon, clove, ginger, maybe light allspice, some light breadiness and toast, limited booziness, light vegetal character when cold but overtaken by the spice when warmed.

Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, moderate drying spice/light bitterness; for the strength and spice presence the mouthfeel is well done.

Overall a pleasant spiced pumpkin ale - not overly spiced and strength is hidden well, light malt balances the spice and strength.

 

 

This is a really strong take on the pumpkin style. It’s not overly spiced but brings good flavor and balance with a “real beer” feel and palate. It’s a malty strong amber ale with pumpkin and seasonal spice adjuncts that never goes too far into the artificial flavor zone. Reminiscent of the classic Schlafly pumpkin in an imperialized rendition. Feel is outstanding with a medium fullness and effervescence that makes it highly drinkable. Bought a single but would definitely go back for a four pack. Recommended.

Spicy! Overall decent

 

Perfumed and synthetic.

I enjoyed this one a good bit and it hit all the right notes its supposed to, very good flavor but I think my original rating was a little bias as I really like Fat Heads. Overall though still really good I'd get this again next year

 

 

Dark amber and quite clear. Volumous beige head releasing a sweet cinnamon dusted, vanilla infused brown sugar cookie. Vegetal, green cardamom
and lightly bitter finish. Creamy pumpkin mascarpone body, smooth and crisp. Tastes enough like a beer, and with the pie overtones that aren't crazy... more aroma.

 

Pours a deep burnt orange with a minimal head.Warming spices like cinnamon,and cardamom stand out,slightly boozy.Not overly sweet on the palate,clove,cinnamon,and cardamom gives it spice but may lack a little depth in flavor and body.Close to bring great,as is pretty good.
