Not your typical Pumpkin Beer!


I picked up a new beer from Heavy Seas from their Mutiny Fleet line of Beers. It is an Imperial Pumpkin Ale aged in Bourbon barrels. I have been loving the barrel aging trend (especially Backwoods Bastard from Founder's and many others) and this one really intrigues me as it is a Pumpkin beer, sounds good even though I am not a huge fan of Pumpkin beers. This beer comes in at 9% abv and reading the beeradvocate reviews, I think I will enjoy it. I have also enjoyed many of the newer releases from Heavy Seas lately, most recently I had Smoke on the Water (a smoked porter) and it was quite good. After this, I will be trying the newest Rogue John John Ale-Hazelnut aged in Rum Barrels. You have to love some of these creations lately-quite unique!
