Imperial Pumpkin

Picture
Imperial Pumpkin | Lakefront Brewery | Milwaukee, WI | Seasonal Imperial Ale

ABV: 9.5%



​
Aroma-
There is a nice oaky vanilla character with brandy and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.

​Appearance-
This imperial pours a hazy amber with a light foamy head and decent retention.

Flavor-
A nice caramel malt up front leading to the vanilla and brandy character with an alcohol finish.

Mouthfeel-
It has a silky smooth texture with medium to low carbonation, making this very drinkable for a barrel aged beer. 

Food pairings-
Turkey, pecan pie and french rolls

Overall-
Lakefront did a great job brewing and aging this Imperial Pumpkin. It has a perfect balance in alcohol heat, malt character and pumpkin spices. I love the creativity in using brandy barrels over the typical bourbon barrels. This is a must try to experience the amazing complexity from the spicing and aging.

Rating-
5/5
