United States·Pumpkin Ale
Tap to rate

Spooky Tooth is an amber imperial ale: savory spices and pumpkin pie lead the aroma, pumpkin comes first on the palate, then malt, pie crust, spice and hints of brown sugar. The body is rich, creamy and chewy, the finish clean. Munich, Victory and Special Roast malts and Sterling hops make up the 8.0% ABV and 22 IBU of this August-to-October seasonal.

◐ Taste

Pumpkin occupies the front palate, followed by a creamy, malt-forward mid-palate with notes of pie crust, brown sugar, and warming spice. The body is rich and chewy, with restrained bitterness (22 IBU) allowing the sweet, spiced character to remain prominent, finishing clean without cloying.
