Pumpkinator
Big, black and full of spice: an imperial pumpkin stout brewed with pale two-row, caramel and black malts, pumpkin for a rich mouthfeel, molasses, brown sugar and spices, then dry-spiced, with Cascade and Liberty hops for a background hop flavor. It began in 2009 as Divine Reserve No. 9 and became Pumpkinator in 2011. At 10.3% ABV and 34 IBU, it won silver at the World Beer Cup in 2012 and 2023.
