This beer combines
the rich, roasty
flavors of a porter
with those found in
a traditional
pumpkin pie. The
complex aroma
practically jumps
from the glass. An
intriguing mix of chocolate and spice… The flavor is robust with
notes of dark chocolate, pumpkin pie and a caramel sweetness
accentuated by a generous addition of molasses to the boil. The
interplay of the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice gives this
beer a very pleasant finish.
Additional Information:
The pumpkins used in this brew were grown at Larry Jacinto farms
right down the street from the brewery. We were very excited when
Larry told us that he had a great crop of pumpkins growing literally
½ mile from the brewery. Once the pumpkins were seeded and
quartered, we teamed up with the Gourmet Pizza shop in downtown
Redlands to utilize their giant pizza oven to help roast all that
pumpkin. This beer was a true community effort!
