The Great Pumpkin - Elysian Brewing Company (2009)

Darkened rustic cantaloupe with autumn hues. Head is a thin coat of ghostly white.

The headless horseman's skull has exploded all of its pumpkin guts, seeds, and mash into the glass. Cinnamon aromas with a hearty pumpkin pie warmth oozing out.

Fresh ground ginger combined with roasted pumpkin. Nutmeg, cloves, apples, and brown sugar. Bready roundness. Whipped vanilla swirled in allspice and toffee. Starts with tingling spice freshness and finishes with a slight hop tinge. 7.7%.
