Sam Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin is part of the brewery's Small Batch Series. The
Small Batch brews are big, bold and flavorful. These beers are meant to be
savored and enjoyed slowly.
True inspiration for the Small Batch Beers is bred from
a respect for the craft and gives Sam Adam's brewers the chance to try new things and experiment with ingredients. The results can be amazing.
This rich and
luscious brew indulges in flavor with over 28 lbs. of pumpkin per barrel, for a
full bodied sweetness and deep russet color. Classic pumpkin pie spices
like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice ignite a warmth and spark that’s deepened
by an undercurrent of roasty smoked malts. The result is a delectable
brew full of enveloping layers of flavor and spice.
This is
definitely one of the best Pumpkin Ales I've ever had. It poured nice and dark
with a serious aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Unlike many pumpkin ales it didn't overwhelm. While the hint of spice is there, the beer is still just that, a beer. It is sweet initially, then the caramel and pumpkin pie spice really takes over for a nice finish. It is full-bodied but not heavy. The spices augment the beer and make this a true positive drinking experience.
This is really good stuff!
