Bourbon Barrel Aged Pumpkin Porter
A seasonal blend of Foothills' People's Porter and Pumpkin Ale, aged in freshly emptied Willett bourbon barrels to capture the ultimate fall beer. The barrel rest draws out a layered aroma: coffee and dark chocolate from the porter base, baking spice from the pumpkin ale, and a sweet vanilla-oak character that lingers into the finish. The bourbon adds warmth without harshness, keeping the beer approachable at 5.9 percent alcohol. Drink it cool in the weeks between autumn and winter, when an evening calls for something darker than the summer ales but with enough sweetness and spice to echo the season.
