Imperial Pumpkin by Lakefront Brewery

Name: Imperial Pumpkin, by Lakefront Brewery
Origin: Milkwaukee, WI
ABV: 9.5%
Description: This is a ale brewed with pumpkin, spices, vanilla, and aged in brandy barrels. It has a dark chestnut color and a sweet liquor-ey smell. It has a very strong, heavy flavor that is heavily influenced by the brandy barrels in which it was aged. It is sweet, syrupey, and boozey. To me this beer tastes more like straight up vanilla extract and brandy and less like pumpkin and spice. The more I drink though the more it grows on me, probably because it's already gotten me drunk.
