Sweet Potato Casserole

Tap to rate

Cinnamon, vanilla, sweet potato, and gooey marshmallow come together with fall spices in this fully baked ale. The brewers describe it as just like mom used to make, only mashed into one sinfully good ale. At 7.9% ABV and 30 IBU, it pours medium amber and is a fall seasonal, available throughout Florida from August through October.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with spiced warmth—cinnamon and nutmeg dominate the entry—followed by creamy vanilla and caramelized sweet potato in the mid-palate. The malty sweetness provides body and richness without cloying; subtle bitterness (30 IBU) arrives late to balance the dessert-like character and prevent monotony.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and lingering, with the spice and vanilla notes fading gradually into a warm, malty aftertaste. A gentle drying sensation from the moderate hopping leaves the palate clean despite the beer's sweet, rich profile.
