Only got a minimal amount of bourbon on it so for the most part, just tasted like an average pumpkin beer. Traditional pumpkin pie spices and the orange color but overall nothing too special, especially given the price point.

Coronado's Barrel Aged Punk'in Drublic, imperial pumpkin ale aged in Bourbon barrels. 8% ABV.
A: Deep, mostly opaque red-orange. Almost two fingers of slightly off-white head. A solid amount of lacing, with falling bubbles cascading very slowly.
S: Nice, fruity and sweet pumpkin. Brown sugar, molasses, slight earthy sourness.
T/MF: Mmm. There is a slight hop note of ash, followed by creamy, earthy pumpkin shell. Finishes with dry, toasted oak and Bourbon-y toffee. It all works surprisingly well together.
Poured from a 12.7 oz. bottle, into a Belgian tulip glass.

2015 vintage.
Pours a hazy dark orange-brown with a foamy khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Foamy streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of gingerbread, caramel, pumpkin pie spice, wood, and bourbon aromas. Taste is much the same with pumpkin pie spice, caramel, coconut, ad bourbon flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of spice bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a bourbon barrel aged presence that gets better as the beer warms up.
Serving type: bottle.

A hazy dark amber light brown colored beer. Small tan head that doesn't last.
Smells strongly of bourbon, lots of caramel and vanilla. Pumpkin pie spice most notably ginger.
Starts out tasting strongly of vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. Mild sweetness. Bourbon really enhances the pumpkin pie taste. Tastes of vanilla, ginger, allspice, and anise.
Mouthfeel is OK.
Overall a damn tasty beer that doesn't look like much.
