Over the years, the legend has only grown.
When Pumpkinator first emerged from the shadows, it was as part of our Divine Reserve series, fifteen years ago. Later, calls for its return were answered. Each year, we brew more than the last. Each year, it’s not quite enough.
On Monday, October 14, Pumpkinator rises again.
Everything is a little over the top with our imperial pumpkin stout – an unholy balance of decadence. Beyond the big malt bill, it has pumpkin, molasses, brown sugar, and a healthy load of spices. At 10.3% ABV, it’s dessert in a glass or the perfect companion to your holiday feast.
Along with the spine-tingling original, we’re also releasing two bourbon barrel aged variants.
Pumpkinator Aged in Bourbon Barrels will make its annual October appearance with notes of pumpkin spice, oak, bourbon, vanilla, and dark fruit. This one’s a sinister sipper perfect for a fall evening.
Brand new for 2024 is Bourbon Barrel Pumpkinator with Cacao Nibs, Vanilla, and Coffee. After we aged the base beer in bourbon barrels for a year, we took it to the next level by adding a trifecta of spooky flavors. When the night gets cold, reach for this cozy blanket in a bottle. At 13.4% ABV, both barrel aged variants are even bigger than the original.
