Pope’s Imperial Pumpkin Ale
Millersburg Brewing Company

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This fridge lurker pours a chill hazed luminous
burnt auburn with a nice head of white foam that settles to a thin ring, thin dusty layer,
and sports some light lacing. Nose of pumpkin, dark breaded malts, light clove, light
cinnamon, and brown sugars. Flavors hit the mark with pumpkin, light clove, light
balanced cinnamon, brown sugars, and caramel. Mouth feel is medium, medium
light carbonation, and finishing faintly dry.

Overall, hard to go wrong with Millersburg.

Cheers

 

 

Little too spicy, in all the right ways.

 

This tastes really good and dialed in especially for the ABSURDLY cheap price im getting it at but it does seem a wee bit overcarbonated.


Im still getting it at a monster bargain and its a very solid beer but yeah these are for sure overcarbonated

This beer pours a mainly clear, just slightly cloudy/hazy medium copper/amber color with lots of little bubbles fairly rapidly and continually rising to the beer's surface. Has a slightly off-white head that's about an inch thick when first poured. Head settles eventually to a very thick surface coating with a very thick lining the inside of the glass at the beer's surface and very nice lacing. Aromas of some bready, caramel malt sweetness that's followed by pumpkin and pumpkin spice and some other dark, fruity notes, such as plum. The flavor profile is quite similar, w/ some caramel malt sweetness along with a fairly strong pumpkin flavor along w/ a bit of baking spices, a hint of vanilla, and a slight hop presence to round this out. Very well balanced flavor profile, especially as the beer sits and starts to warm up. No flavor really dominates any of the others. Has a crisp, smooth, medium to full bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Has a clean finish. A very good beer here overall.

Is one of my favorite beers is delicious the right amount of spice with out being two much

I know I've had some good things from Millersburg in the past (and some questionable too). This is another good one.

It pours deep burnt orange with lots of smallish soda pop bubbles. The aroma is fresh pumpkins and ale (my wife would say it smells like beer). The taste is a nice, sweet, lighter ale with a tad of pumpkin. Not overbearing. It all goes down easy with well hidden alcohol.

Recommended. A nice unpretentious pumpkin ale.

 

 

Flat and watery

12 ounce can, no dating on it but I'm pretty sure it's the 2020 vintage, released recently. Served in a Rivertown Pumpkin Ale glass, the beer pours a mostly clear orange/amber color with about a half inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both decent enough. Aroma is nice, the brew smells like nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla and some grainy malt. Taste is pretty much just like the aroma, the pumpkin pie-like spice flavors are noticeable but not overpowering. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit creamy and easy enough to drink with a good amount of carbonation. Overall I thought it was an enjoyable pumpkin ale, I liked it! $10.99 a 4-pack.

 

 

 

 

 

12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a glowing hazy amber; light khaki head that fades leaving solid retention and lacing. The aromas are malt forward. Lots of caramel. Mild and subtle spice aromas. Some hints of apple. The flavors are nice. Solid spice profile in the finish. Some cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. It's definitely not a spice bomb. More caramel along with some hints of toffee. Low bitterness. It doesn't come off as sweet. Nice malt backbone. Alcohol is well hidden and goes completely unnoticed. Mouthfeel is full-bodied with moderate carbonation. It's very smooth and dangerously drinkable.

This is a pretty solid pumpkin ale. It's subtle, but flavorful. The craftsmanship is on point. I like it.

I received this ale in a snifter at The Rail. It's very malty and spiceful, with its higher ABV coming through overtly on the finish. I like this pumpkin ale!
